Mark all as read should apply to thread shown, not whole mailbox :( #1254

Open PanMan opened 8 years ago

PanMan commented 8 years ago

RainLoop version, browser, OS: rainloop/v/1.10.4.183/ Chrome Latest, OSX Expected behavior and actual behavior: When viewing a thread with some unread emails, there is a "mark all as read" button. I would expect this to mark the emails I'm seeing in the thread as read. However, it marks ALL emails in my inbox as read :(. Steps to reproduce the problem: Open a thread, click "mark all as read."

+1 on a fix for this :-D

Try Ctrl+A and Q. If you're "inside" the thread, it should work and it's pretty quick.

I doubt the right term is "fix" because Mark all as read is supposed to work on the whole current mailbox. You may be "inside" a thread but that thread is still part of the current mailbox. Now, the Mark all as read could be context-sensitive and act only in the current thread when "inside" one.

We can argue for a long time what the button should do, but to me it was unclear. It doesn't help that it is in menu items that only apply to the current email. We can also change the wording Mark all mail in INBOX read or so would be clearer. But then I'd want a new button: "Mark this thread read" :)
