asuth:

• Created tag meta-bug: bug 432710
• Lots of work on deleting-lots-of-messages bug 296453. I think I have addressed all of the fundamental issues, although there's the question of...
  • Should we have a folder-events-only event stream that people can listen for, so they don't have to receive all the message events and just filter them out?
  • Created page on threading and the preferences that affect it in the process: MailNews:Message_Threading.
  • (Still need to log a related bug or two and try and get some unit testing for the topological sort logic.)
• Touched base with clarkbw on search.

wsmwk:

• Working with standard8 on palmsync+trunk
