Description

[u289014]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.14) Gecko/2009082707 Firefox/3.0.14 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 3.0b4

When I have an e-mail open in a tab and delete it, the message does not appear from the window in the tab. The name of the tab, however, changes to the name of my inbox. It does not open the next unopened e-mail nor close the tab if it is the last opened one.

Also, when you open the first e-mail, the previous e-mail from the last session will flash in the tab before it loads the new one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open unopened e-mail in a new tab.
2.hit delete
3.tab name changes, and the content does not delete nor move to display the next e-mail.
Actual Results:  
After hitting delete the e-mail remains displayed in the tab, the tab name becomes that of the inbox, and the next unopened e-mail will only open if you hit "next."

Expected Results:  
The software should have deleted the message from the page in the tab and displayed the contents of the next e-mail.
