455291 - When I click in the Notification window to open a new mail, the folder is selected, not the mail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 231654

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Ulf Dunkel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.2) Gecko/2008090514 Firefox/3.0.2
Build Identifier: 

I love the Notification window which informs me in the bottom right corner of the screen about new messages. But frequently when I click on a message URL in this notification window to read the mail in TB, I run into the following problem:

- Many of my incoming mails are filtered into subfolders.
- I like to read some mailing list messages and delete them immediately afterwards.
- When I open such mails from the Notification window, read them and press [Delete], TB asks me if I really want to delete the relevant FOLDER, not the message.

I would love to see the message list window selected, when I open a mail by clicking on the message URL in the Notification window, instead of heaving the list selection focussed on the subfolders list window.

PS: I hope my explanation of what I want to describe can be understood. I am no native English speaker and don't even know if the term 'Notification window' is the right one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait until TB notifies about new messages.
2. Click into the Notification window to open and read one of these messages.
3. Press [Delete] in TB to delete the message afterwards.

You will then get irritated as TB has focussed on the relevant message subfolder and offers to delete the folder instead of the message.

This should get solved by bug 231654.
