Description

[Walid Daccache]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; MDDC; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; FDM)

When focused on one unread folder and reading an email, and when thunderbird is downloading other emails, it automatically switches between folders removing the focus from the message that is being read and switching to other messages. This is very annoying since you loose track of the message you are reading as it becomes unread.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Switch to Unread folders view
2.Focus on a message
3.Download new email
Actual Results:  
The message that was being read is closed and thunderbird switches automatically to another folder.

Expected Results:  
Keep the focus on the message being read.
