Setting the current message

I’ve discovered an issue involving ‘setting the current message’ that may affect TB users generally. I have been using the Add-on “Quick Folder Move” by Philipp Kewisch, ver 1.10.0 in TB ver. 91.2.1 64-bit in Windows 10.

Sometimes, when I change the current folder to a different one, I select a message by a single click, but the contents are not displayed in the preview pane. When I then right-click and choose move to, the Quick Folder Move search box opens. After selecting a destination folder in the normal way, the selected message does not move. Instead, the previous “current message” moves. This is inconvenient, since I then have to find that message and move it back. The error in ‘setting the current message’ occurs frequently, perhaps 1 in 4 times when I change the folder. It sometimes occurs even when I don’t change the folder. My current workarounds are: -to double-click the message line when the contents are not displayed in Preview. -close and re-start TB when the error is too frequent.

if you have issues with the addon, perhaps ask the author for support. It is not supported here.

Have you right clicked the folder and selected properties and then repair to rebuild the folder index which is what I think has issues. If you have an anti virus program scanning in the thunderbird profile folder it may pay to create and exception for the Thunderbird profile to prevent the index getting messed up.
