We recently switched from horde 3.3 to horde 5.2, so the new dynamic interface is new to our users. On the one hand, there are always users that don't like the changes and want to keep the old. On the other hand, the reports indicate that the horde/imp did not work in the way they expected.
Very similar situation here. With any luck, you might also have users that are so such much used to mails being spread out to "pages" that after the switch to dynamic mode, they mistakenly delete their whole Inbox because the special "check all mails" checkbox in the table heading really checks alle mails, even those not on the current "page". At least, that's what we have been experiencing a couple of times.
I've been thinking that it might be a good idea to have an option to define a threshold such that if one attempts to delete more than X mails at once, there is a warning like "You are about to delete Y emails to once. Are you sure you want to continue?". However, I really don't know if that warning would actually be read. Maybe others can comment on that, too.
I don't know if there is a majority of users that expected the selection to work different, as only few users will report such problems. But if it would be possible to change horde that it works in the way these users expect it to work without breaking how the the other users expect horde to work it could improve the GUI. But I don't know if it is possible or not.
I don't really see a good way how this could be gracefully handled in the dynamic GUI. The next best solution I can think of would be to tackle the "deselection" problem I mentioned before, e.g. the pseudo-checkbox could be displayed using a different color when one is about to deselect a message.
