There's one thing I'd like to add. The behaviour of the Get Msg button
is a little confusing. If I click on 'Get Msg', the 'barber-style'
progress bar will start to move, but appart from that, nothing seems to
happen: In the status bar, 'Document: Done' will still be displayed. The
'Document: Done' will only disappear when 'Contacting host...' will be
displayed. In the case of a slow connection, the 'Document: Done.' will
stay for about as long as a second after the 'Get Msg' button has been
pressed.
Also, it is confusing that the 'Get Msg' button isn't greyed out when
Mozilla is already downloading messages or checking for new mail. It's
not clear for the user what happens if 'Get Msg' is clicked while
Mozilla is checking for new mail - will Mozilla simply ignore it, or
will it abort the running check for new email and start over again? 'Get
Msg' should definately be greyed out in this situation.
The 'No new messages on server' is only displayed for fractions of a
second on my system. It is instantly replaced by 'Document: Done (x.xxx
secs)' after the email check. This is confusing, too: There's no clear
and visible feedback when there's no new mail.
bye,
Tillmann
