Today's interface change or... is it a bug?

DarioMor · 11 Dec 2019, 04:21 AM

There is a small change in web interface today that is making me mad!!!

At inbox/read email screen I see at left the folders list, than in the middle the list of emails (sender, subjetc, 1st line), and at right the reading pane with the selected message.

My every day work consist to read a message and Move it to a specific folder. So I type "M" and 4 or 5 letters of the folder and then "enter". Voilá, the message is in it's last and eternal location.

The next message will probably be stored at the same folder, and to make it happens I must only type "M" and "enter". It will be stored at the same folder I selected previously. I repeat this at least 200 times each day.

But not today.

Today it seems to forget the last used folder. If I do not type the folder name, it tries to move the message to the inbox folder. *Every time*.

Did someone noted it? There are others suffering like me? Do someone think it is better this way?

If FastMail changed this behaviour deliberately, I would like to know the reason. It seems like a mistake.

Although the behaviour to move to the most recently used move folder is not a documented feature, I would still be inclined to raise a ticket and ask if the change is deliberate, urging them to revert to the prior behaviour.

Dang. You're right. Why did they do this?
I will also raise a ticket.

Seems fixed now?

Yes.

Probably they fixed the bug.

And, on the ticket I opened 23 hours ago, no human movement detected.

Did they mess with it again?
Now the cursor sits on the search box on the second move command.

To me it is working fine since 11 Dec 2019

As I said, I use it dozen of times every day.
