389147 - No Progress indicator when processing message filters from IMAP to local

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 131965

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Ingo Fischer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/20070713 Firefox/2.0.0.5
Build Identifier: TB 2.0.05

As seen in Bug 91458 I have the same problem, but for Thunderbird and especially for filters running on IMAP and filtering to local folders.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create filter for IMAP account to filter messages to local folders
2. get messages
Actual Results:  
The messages are filtered, but you do not see and progress indication ... the only "indication" you see is when thunderbird gets the message headers at the beginning. After this you see in the UI that the folders where messages are filtered to are getting showed "bold" but without number number of new messages in brackets. When all messages are filtered to that folder the new-message-numbers are shown - this is currently the only "indication" that the message-filters have finished ...

Expected Results:  
During message filtering some kind of progress indication should be shown

Because this indicator exists for POP3-filters it should be the same for IMAP!

In TB3 it is a little bit better because you now see the filter-processing (moving x messages to folder y), so you see a progress, but still no progress-bar ...
