Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Matjaz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

A certain message in a folder is displayed in preview pane. If you set such a
retention policy that this message will get deleted, it will stay displayed
after is has been deleted (only in preview pane, not in a mail list above).

Thunderbird: version 1.0+ (20050802)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a message in some folder. The message body is displayed in a preview pane.
2. Set a retention policy for this folder so that the messsage will be deleted
immediately.
3. Select a different folder and that select the first folder again (in order to
run the retention)

Actual Results:  
Messages that meet the retention policy get deleted from the mail list. No
message is selected in the mail list, but the body of previously selected
message is displayed in a preview pane.

Expected Results:  
Message body of the deleted message should not be displayed. Probably the last
message should be selected and its body displayed in a preview pane.

I am having a strange problem, with Using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051224 Thunderbird/1.5 - Build ID: 2005122413 on Win XP Pro SP2. For some reason now when Thunderbird starts it opens with with the first email in the message pane, The chrome://messenger/content/start.xhtml is not visible. If I delete all messages the very last deleted email is left in the message pane but the inbox is empty the only way to clear is to restart the program. I have compressed X several no change. If I click on the mail start button under GO nothing happens. Any Ideas?

Thanks

Reporter, does the issue still occur in the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported 2.0.0.x is 2.0.0.16)
