When i select multiple messages in the inbox and press del on the keyboard or
the delete button on the screen, mail does almost nothing.  It shows that it is
busy in the status bar and in the status icon (upper right corner) but doesn't
actually delete the messages.  This state continues indefinately and in this
state it is not possible to delete messages one at a time or in groups.  The
behavior is the same for move operations involving multiple messages either
using drag-n-drop or right-click context menus.  (attached to mail front end
component because mail back end and mail database component descriptions claim
they have no bugs (wtf?))

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open mail
2. press "get messages" button on screen
3. select multiple unwanted new emails (mouse plus ctrl key)
4. press delete button on keyboard or screen

Actual Results:  mail is now in a state that will not allow copying, moving or
deleting of any email messages

Expected Results:  copied, moved or deleted the messages

This is on a newly installed copy of Windows XP & newly installed copy of
mozilla.  The only thing slightly odd about the installation is that Windows XP
is installed on the D: partition of this machine and Windows 2000 is installed
on the C: partition.  There is a copy of mozilla with the same mail accounts,
etc. in the c: drive, but the older installation is inaccessable as 1) mozilla
in xp is installed in the d:\program files\mozilla.org directory (win2k's copy
of mozilla is installed in c:\program files\mozilla.org).  Win2K is also
unavailable because the XP install seems to have horked it badly, though the XP
installer had no "hose your previous version of windows" option ($@%#^* MS!).

This is dupe of bug 150716.

Reporter if you get a more recent trunk build (after 6/13)
this would work. Moving/Deleting multiple emails was broken
in 6/11 build.
