Re(2): 2nd item in list stuck as highlighted
Now this is happening to me. The second mail in every folder is highlighted (yellow, in my case). Selecting another email sometimes, but not always unhighlights this email. Quitting and restarting or changing folders doesn't make it go away.

I have never seen this on both AlBook1.5 and Dual2.5, and this PM list folder alone has 5,770 as of now. -- - Hiro
Re: 2nd item in list stuck as highlighted
Hi, I've seen stray emails highlighted, but not in the way described. (switching folders) I'll keep an eye on it and report if I can notice a pattern. More than 31,000 emails in my DB, mostly imported from Eudora. 5.5b2, MacBook Pro, 2GB RAM, OS 10.4.7 Bruce As Richard Hart wrote... >Yes.

Re: 2nd item in list stuck as highlighted
Yes. I had this problem for a long time, and it stumped PowerMail support. I can't give you specific steps to apply, but I do know it has something to do with number of messages in the database. At the time, I had more than 5,000 messages. For unrelated reasons, I reduced this to about 3,000, and the problem disappeared.

2nd item in list stuck as highlighted
Hi all, Well I am using 5.5b2 and am experiencing my first problem: If I switch from whatever mailbox I'm in to a different one, the 2nd email in the list becomes highlighted. It doesn't matter what column I'm sorted by. In fact, if I resort, the 2nd item stays selected (that is, not the same email, just whichever is 2nd in the list). If I click a different email, that one becomes highlighted too, but the 2nd in the list stays highlighted also. It's sticky. I can only get it unhighlighted by selecting it then unselecting it. Quitting and relaunching it solves the problem. Anyone else ever see this? BTW, nice to see that this list now has a 'list-post' header! -- Sean McBride, B.
