Apply Time-Window To Every Back Batch Loaded, Not Just First Batch
Last modified: 2018-04-13 01:21:33 UTC
hi this might already be your plan, but requesting that, if i scroll to bottom of message list, the next batch loaded should match the time-window specified by user in account settings. Eg, if set to 3 months, then each next batch loaded on scrolling to bottom of list should be 3 months. I posted this request, because it seems that your current design is to load only the user-specified time-window for the first batch, and then 2-weeks per batch after that. My rationale is that (for me as an email user) if i set an account to load 3 months back, it means, in general, i'm interested in 3-month time-windows. If the message i seek is not found 3 months back, then i'm definitely going to want to load the NEXT 3 months back, not sit there waiting for 2-week batches to dribble in, having to repeatedly scroll to bottom of list to get next batch. on the other hand, if i set an account to 2-weeks back, it means i'm interested in small time window (for that account). thx again for a fantastic email client!
Thanks for the feedback, this should be taken into consideration as part of Bug 795181. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 795181 ***
