Gaston, in addition to the recommendations in Comment 2, can you please see if this behaviour is reproducible in any other browsers? (ie. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, Firefox 3.6)

Hi, sorry for the delay. I have been busy.

It is NOT reproducible at least in Chrome.

One thing I noticed is that, in order to replicate this problem, after you archive an email, the inbox should be empty. That is, you have to archive the only email in the inbox (step 6 in the list of replication steps).

I was able to replicate this in FF4 under Win7 SP 1 and MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

Hope this helps!
Cheers.

Thanks for the response, Gastón.

Can you try to reproduce this using the latest nightly build:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/

I've been unable to reproduce the behaviour.

in addition to lacking reproducible info, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGoogle is gone. So I suppose we close this.
