Sorry, I DID search before filing this bug. The other bug does not have the
slightest hint in it's title that a "normal" user would associate with this
behaviour. Not to speak about the word "mail" in the title... (reading the
instructions for filing it says: descriptive!)

Martin, which build are you still having the problem in?

Comment 6

Still the same: 
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; de-AT;
rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217

Then I don't understand comment 3 and comment 4.  Since bug 282938 was fixed on
2005-02-21, why are you surprised you still see the issue in a build from
2005-02-17?  That's 4 days before bug 282938 was fixed.

Please retest in a current trunk build, and reopen this bug if the issue is
still there.

Boris,
Sorry, mixed up the built-date and the release date which was Feb. 26th! Just
downloaded Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; de-AT; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050228. The initial problem is gone. However there is some weird
behaviour now. When I click on the account name I can see a short flash which
fills the whole right side area of the window. It's too quick to say what is
being displayed. Switching between the folders within an account works perfect
now (no flashing there).

That sounds like bug 283123.
