Very similar situation here. With any luck, you might also have
users that are so such much used to mails being spread out to
"pages" that after the switch to dynamic mode, they mistakenly
delete their whole Inbox because the special "check all mails"
checkbox in the table heading really checks alle mails, even those
not on the current "page". At least, that's what we have been
experiencing a couple of times.
Yes! We did expect it, and it happened quit a few times in the first week,
but much less often now. And cyrus unexpunge feature is helping great keeping
the work to restore the mail to a minimum.
I've been thinking that it might be a good idea to have an option to
define a threshold such that if one attempts to delete more than X
mails at once, there is a warning like "You are about to delete Y
emails to once. Are you sure you want to continue?". However, I
really don't know if that warning would actually be read. Maybe
others can comment on that, too.
I don't know if there is a majority of users that expected the selection
to work different, as only few users will report such problems. But if it
would be possible to change horde that it works in the way these users
expect
it to work without breaking how the the other users expect horde to work
it could improve the GUI. But I don't know if it is possible or not.
I don't really see a good way how this could be gracefully handled
in the dynamic GUI. The next best solution I can think of would be
to tackle the "deselection" problem I mentioned before, e.g. the
pseudo-checkbox could be displayed using a different color when one
is about to deselect a message.
this should be possible with css
