Re: [Evolution] Deleting Messages

[iain <ifmcvey gmail com>]

I too prefer that when an email has been opened in a separate window, and I
choose to delete it, that the window close, and focus return to the main
evolution window; and NOT have the next message in the queue open.   This is
my preferred workflow.

If found the option to enable my preferred behavior in :

Edit>Preferences>Mail Preferences.  

where there is a checkbox to choose " Go to the previous message after
message deletion".  

However, regardless of whether this option is checked or unchecked the
previous message is opened when I delete an email that is has been opened in
a separate window.  I also tired using dconf-editor to set the option.   But
still the previous message opens.

I usually use the preview pane to browse my emails, but sometimes a message
is of particular interest and I open it in a separate window so I can get a
better look at it, or leave it lurking ion the desktop so I don't forget to
deal with it later, or whatever other reasons there are for opening an email
in its own window.  Then if I choose to delete it I REALLY prefer to go back
to the main window with the list of emails and the preview pane.   

Any suggestions why the option isn't sticking,  or things to be done to make
it behave in the way it seems to be meant to?
