296407 - MailView (other than All) lists messages from top of folder, instead of scrolling down to most recent message or last scroll position

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Vince]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317)

When I have my view filter set to All, and go into a folder, it goes to the
bottom of the folder (most recent). When I select Not Junk, it goes to the top
instead (oldest), forcing a scroll to the bottom of the folder every time. 

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
When selecting Not Junk as a view, I expect the most recent messages to be
displayed when entering a folder.

Reproduced with TB 1.0+0603, and Moz 1.8b2-0516, Win2K.  This bug is probably on 
all platforms.

In the grand scheme of things this may be minor.  But from a usability standpoint, losing position every time you go to a folder is a major problem (like you want to shoot yourself each time you do something which you really want to like doing, but hate it every time you see it).  

And, with the power of tags+custom views helping make things *potentially* more productive, losing view scroll position drop this productivity down several notches.
