Hi,
is this only me, or this new feature that remembers the selection
state of a mailbox rather irritating than helpful? I may be
completely off, that's why I'm asking here, where potentially more
end user feedback is expected than on the development list.
I don't recall such behavior from any other application that I use.
Granted, I don't use many desktop applications anymore, but still.
If I go to another mailbox, I'm done with the current mailbox, and
vice versa, so I rather expect the first mailbox in a clean state
when I return from the second mailbox. This expectation might be
different if we had mailboxes opened in tabs, which we don't.
Though this could be considered a bug that needs fixing, I find it
especially annoying in a common use case of mine: when I start
reading through my daily mail, going through all the folders that
my mail is sorted into, I sometimes open a mail that's too long to
be read right now. Then I reset the seen flag before I go to
another folder. If I go back, that message is now still selected,
marking it as seen again.
Again, this could be just my personal preference, and others might
welcome this new feature, so I'm looking for some feedback.
For me personally, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's irritating,
but I agree that it is an undesirable feature. I expect the mailbox
to be in a pristine state if I exit it and reenter it.
For the record: I implemented this because the feedback on this list
several months ago was **exactly** the opposite. See, e.g.:
http://marc.info/?l=imp&m=134272876202981&w=2
And this *is* the way other mail applications work. At least in
Thunderbird and (I believe) Outlook.
