Win32 (1999-06-28-08 m8) and Mac(1999-06-28-09 m8) stes: 1. Select a mail message from the Inbox 2. Press the Delete button from the keyboard, nothing happens Expected result: Message should be deleted like Nova on Mac and Win32. This problem occurs on all three platforms. Since the Delete button does not work on Linux for Nova, I am not sure I should mark this a All platform bug.

My apology. I meant the Delete key from the keyboard, not button.

reassigning to me.

For 5.0, the Delete key should also work on Linux for deleting a message. We should not have any parities among platforms. Note: I believe that one case where the Delete key should not work is when the user cancels a news posting. I don't know the reasoning behind this; this is the behavior in 4.x Win32.

reassigning to mscott since he took this from me.

I think this is a dup of 23408?

I've added a keybinding for the delete key such that it will delete the selected message if you click it. If you have multiple messages selected and you hit the delete button it will delete all of the selected messages. Just like in Nova. Marking as fixed. Note: I haven't changed the hotkey text that shows up in the Edit menu which says ctrl-D deletes messages. That's covered in Bug #23408

Here is what I find in today's builds. Linux (2000-01-18-11-M13) Win_nt (2000-01-18-11-M13) Mac (2000-01-17-08-M13) Linux: POP and IMAP both works. Select a message and press a Delete key, it deletes the selected message WIn_nt 4.0 IMAP and POP: Delete key does not delete a selected message. Instead, it proceed to the next message. Mac: POP works, Delete key deletes the selected message Unable to test IMAP due to bug 24272

I verified with Fenella that this works on her NT machine. Re-closing.

Indeed. I do not what happened. I did another new profile migration in POP and IMAP, it works fine now. Leave this open until MAC IMAP problem is fixed.

Linux Redhat (2000-01-20-08 M13) Win_nt 4.0 (2000-01-20-09 M13) Mac (2000-01-20-08 M13) I re-tested this bug in POP and IMAP accounts on all 3 platforms. The bug is fixed.

Linux Redhat (2000-02-28-08 M15) Win_nt 4.0 (2000-02-28-09 M15) Mac (2000-02-28-08 M15) The Delete key does not delete message. This used to be working. Reopen this bug.

Win_nt 4.0 (2000-02-28-09 M15) I tried it again on Win_nt 4.0, it works on Win_nt 4.0. Mark it a Linux and Mac only bug.

It does not work on Windows for me. Fenella, perhaps we should close this one and just reopen a new bug.

The delete button just broke again. See Bug #26782 for more details. It's all in there. re-closing this one.

I am going to leave this bug Resolved/Fixed until bug 26782 is fixed.

Linux (2000-03-01-08 M15) win32 (2000-03-01-09 M15) The Delete key deletes messages. But .. Mac Linux (2000-03-01-08 M15) still does not work yet.

I meant Linux and Win32 Delete button works but on Mac (2000-03-07-08 M15), Delete button still does not work.

Mac (2000-03-20-11-M15) problem still exists in the trunk build

Using Mac build (2000-04-07-09 M15) this problem still exists. Re-open the bug.

fenella: I was looking at bug #26782 -- if you are using an iMac (with that limited keyboard it comes with) what is labelled as "Delete" is not really a delete key (it is emitting a backspace). On a fullsize keyboard there is another "delete" key that you can use to test. [Whether this is a platform binding issue that developers want to take into account is a separate matter].

Hmm ... maybe I should have read the history of the bug more closely :-] (However, i thought that deleteing buddies was broken on the mac until i realized that that key was mislabelled).

marking fixed.

Linux (2000-027-05-08 M17) Win32 (2000-027-05-09 M17) Mac (2000-027-05-10 M17) This problem has been fixed.
