Comment 42 for bug 275952

2.24.3 in 8.10, at least here, is working almost as it used to.

I use a search folder for unread and important messages.
If I mark the messages as read/unimportant using the 'mark as' menu the message is removed instantly (which would be enough for me if it worked on already read messages and there was an accelerator for mark as unimportant)

If it gets marked as read automatically or if I remove the important flag in the message list pane, the message doesn't disappear until I reload the search folder by double clicking it in the folder pane (refresh and expunge unfortunately don't work as before. I used Ctrl-E to clean the search folder in 2.22, know I have to move the mouse around).
Removing the important flag in the message list pane works but the icon isn't updated until the message is selected again (or the folder is reloaded and then the message disappears), so the important icon stays there until I change to another message and change back the previous unmarked message, by then the important icon disappears (the message doesn't only disappears when the folder is reloaded).

It seems better than when the messages got removed as soon as read, but at least for me it still isn't working as I wanted it to, or at least as I got used to (and it worked well, for me at least). Having no keyboard accelerator to remove the important flag and since expunge isn't working to remove messages that don't fit the search criteria any more, makes it not as easy to use as it was in 2.22, but it is getting better.

Anyone else tried to use the search folders again?
