Description Pierre Fortin 2016-10-04 20:25:05 UTC
With multiple accounts which takes a few seconds to startup. When the folder list appears, if I select a folder which is highlighted (new mail), it is opened momentarily, then the open folder switches to the last folder which was open when I closed CM.

Noticed this over time; but it was more obvious today as I was restarting CM several times to figure out what was eventually reported as bug 3705.

Running 3.14.0-git107

The unexpected folder switch occurs at the end of mail checking. If user selects a  folder during startup, block the auto-open.
