295443 - Separated notifications when getting messages from multiple servers

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Hugues Lemonnier]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When getting messages simultaneously from different server, the notification
area in the status bar is shared. This is a problem because you don't know for
which server is the current message. For an example you can see "Receiving
message 4 of 10", and then "No new message on server", then "Receiving message 1
of 1", and so on...
Some other mail clients (Eudora for instance) pop up a window with one gauge for
each server. This may be a solution. At least, the name of server concerned by
the message should be added before. Something like "mail.myserver.com : no new
message on server".

Reproducible: Always

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
