306211 - Mass Marking of Mail as Junk Results in Ambiguous Progress Bar Indication

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 194949

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[KhanReaper]

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

Upon marking about 400+ messages as junk to help train Thunderbird's spam
detection further, Thunderbird appears to process the messages; however, the
indications suggested by the progress bar at the button do not convey anything
about net progress achieved. Specifically, the progress bar appears to flash
between the values of zero or 100 percent while processing the messages.

Instead of the existing behavior, it would be better if Thunderbird's progress
bar indicated the total progress of the learning, instead of the progress for
downloading each message presumably.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mass-mark 400+ entries in a remote IMAP folder as junk.
Actual Results:  
1. Firefox marks the items as spam and learns from the files; however, the
progress bar reflects nothing useful for the duration and net progress of the task.

Expected Results:  
1. The progress bar should indicate net progress of the marking task.

Mass marking 100+ e-mails in a remote IMAP folder.

dupe to bug 61139?  since junk processing is dependent on download process?
