Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Get Mail in say account #1 and Account #3 2.Read message in #1, continue with spacebar. 3. Get "Advance to next unread message in Inbox?" prompt and say yes. Actual Results: Penelope loops at that point, instead of jumping the Inbox #3. Expected Results: Penelope jumps to the #3 Inbox and shows that unread message.
It works just fine for me. I'll leave this open for a while to see if anybody else has problems with this.
This seems to be a sub-bug of Bug 545218 which asserts this problem exists not only across account boundaries but also across folder boundaries. I will post further remarks in Bug 545218.
It may well exist across folder boundaries as well; I will observe and report. But reading 545218, I have never had a crash attributable to this. I just loop at that prompt.
Summary: "Next Unread" can't advance across account boundries. → "Next Unread" can't advance across account boundaries.

I see neither the loop nor a crash: the dialogue simply goes away without having any effect on the message window.
By the way, I should add that *sometimes* it works as it did in the past; I say "yes" to the prompt, and hey it works! The next time, back to no joy. I have spent a long time trying to find a pattern to the successes. No clues thus far....
I still see this in the Eudora OSE release.
Also, I note a subtle change. In older versions, it would loop at the popup, never moving. In this version, it tries once and silently fails.
Depends on: 545218
Penelope didn't see any activity in the vcs for the last 8 years, closing.
