Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 295040

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[walter sheets]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050522 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050522 Firefox/1.0+

Thunderbird(HEAD) starting approx 21May05:

When I'm reading a message in one mail account and click on any other mail/news
account in the Folders pane, the messages from the old account remain in the
header and preview panes.  i.e. there is no way I can display the messages in
the second account.

Note that this bug is hit only after actually reading a message in the first
account.  Just clicking on different accounts in the Folders panel still works
normally as long as you don't stop to read a message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure the message pane (F8) is showing.
2. Read a message in any news/mail account.
3. Now click on any other mail/news account in the Folders pane.


Actual Results:  
The list of messages and message body from the first account remain displayed.

Expected Results:  
The list of messages in the second account should appear instead.
