Hello,
I would like to suggest that we do not change the sidebar collection
when Replying and Forwarding mail.
Currently, when a user hits reply or forward the out collection is
selected and the focus put on the mail message.
I think this is very counter intuitive to current mail apps. It is
very easy for a user not realize that the collection
they were working in has changed.
So here is a scenario I hit a couple of times today while testing the
reply / forward logic.
I am working in the dashboard. I select a mail to reply to. I hit
reply. I respond to the message and send it.
I then hit sync and see that new mail is being downloaded. However, I
don't see the mail in Chandler.
My first thought and I believe the first users thought will be that
something is not working correctly (bug).
Why?
Because I was working in the Dashboard and Chandler decided to move
on its own to the Out collection.
In a traditional mail app (Thunderbird, Outlook, etc) the folder one
is reading and responding to mail in
does not change because a user hits the reply or forward button.
To sum up I think users will get confused and I don't see a benefit
to doing it.
Thats my two sense.
Thoughts?
-Brian
