Mike,
        This is the message I sent you earlier regarding the
patches mentioned in bug report:  http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8035

----
        Just a quick follow up to you on my list message.  I did
apply just the patches on the bug report page to Mailbox.php
and IMAP.php.

        It took care of the indexing links, but after you
do a select all/delete -- when the screen refreshed the message
subjects were off?  They still showed the undeleted messages, but
if you clicked on the link you got the right one.

        I was using the latest Firefox on Windows XP on IMP 4.3.3
with those two files patched.  I tried it a couple of times
and got the same results.  I may have fouled the patch up, etc...
but please check it out yourself.

        I can put the details in the bug tracking system if you
like.
  
        Best regards and thanks for your time on this!
