Changes have been made in Git for this ticket: If selected message(s) disappear from mailbox, gracefully handle in the UI This is a very subtle yet important issue. Goes together with ~~Request #7297~~ in that messages that may disappear from the search mailbox (e.g. read messages in the Virtual Inbox) correctly causes all selected message functions to be disabled and the preview pane to clear. http://git.horde.org/diff.php/imp/docs/CHANGES?rt=horde-git&r1=9ab3adc6193cc2b841067a94a199a7c62efe4b13&r2=7b8ddd0c8667d890fbef894ed6d517bbfcd983b6 http://git.horde.org/diff.php/imp/js/ViewPort.js?rt=horde-git&r1=5f7ffd2edcaa66b85c93220f8f2bf051155c77a9&r2=7b8ddd0c8667d890fbef894ed6d517bbfcd983b6 http://git.horde.org/diff.php/imp/lib/Views/ListMessages.php?rt=horde-git&r1=2372f4e5a4fd327bdfd15e7291fcdc8510dd3b11&r2=7b8ddd0c8667d890fbef894ed6d517bbfcd983b6

How does gmail (or other clients with smart searches) deal with this (for gmail, in the search view)? How feasible would it be to have the automatic refresh add messages, but not remove them?

09/08/08	Michael Slusarz	Comment #2	Reply to this comment
If reading a message in the virtual inbox, after the mailbox refreshes, that message disappears from the mailbox. Deleting etc. still works, but with no visual feedback. I'm not sure how to deal with it, but from a usability standpoint, it would make most sense if the currently selected message(s) in the mailbox keep visible, even if they are no longer in the mailbox. Might have to implement forcible refreshing in that mailbox. i.e. The mailbox is loaded once, but you don't get the automatic polling for new messages or manual updates unless you click on an explicit button/link.
