I already configured it to hide deleted messages and that would be the perfect companion.

We have the 'mailbox_return' preference, but that is only pertinent for views where the message page is separate from the mailbox page. We can't use this in dynamic view as-is. We would need to rename this preference to work across all views properly (e.g. 'move_next_msg_after_delete').

I think the preference name is not that important, as long as the description is correct or more specific. It's probably safe to assume that no user would be surprised if that preference works as described in the dynamic view too, and with a different description, this should finally be clear.

I disagree with this. if we are going to change the action, we should create a brand new preference rather than adapting to the (not necessarily intended) action of the old preference. This is not a big deal given we are releasing a new major version and we can convert the old preference. The bigger issue that I see is that the default behavior for traditional/mobile vs. dynamic is completely opposite. It makes more sense in traditional/mobile to move to the next message, since you are explicitly in message view. However, for the dynamic mailbox/preview page, the default makes much more sense to result in resetting the message selection rather than moving to the next message. It is going to be troublesome to have a preference that works across all views in this case, IMHO.

Good point, this is indeed an issue.

Can you explain why it's better not to load the next message (into the preview section)? I don't get it :) Sat, 18 Aug 2012 16:47:13 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/11287#t72280 > Can you explain why it's better not to load the next message (into > the preview section)? > I don't get it :) The single most important reason is that it is exactly the opposite of the current UI behavior. Changing this kind of a behavior is a bad thing, unless the new behavior is unquestionably the correct one. Which it isn't. First, you incur a penalty every time you open a message in dynamic preview mode. This increases server load. This is not an issue with traditional view, since you need to open the new page anyway in order to trigger the action. Second, it is quite possible that the next message is either a message you don't care about, so it is just a waste of user time to do this. Or even worse, the next message is a spam message that the user has no interest in displaying and, in fact, may be concerned by the content inside of that message. We should not be showing these messages without explicit confirmation by the user. FWIW, the Shift-Delete shortcut performs what you are asking for in the dynamic view (delete and move to next message). I believe that is sufficient for power users who want to do what you are asking. Sat, 18 Aug 2012 20:02:39 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/11287#t72282 Rejecting. No argument as to why Shift-DELETE is not an acceptable solution. Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:35:19 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/11287#t73077
