I had the "Multiple Inboxes" Labs feature since way back. I stopped
using it because I found it combersome, among other things it would
restrict your Inbox to 20 messages, back then. And it made things
VERY slow.

They have since fixed that limitation. So I tried using it again.

But it's not working right!

It correctly shows a list of messages that meet my criteria, but when
I click on one of those messages, I don't see it. All it shows me is
the subject and any labels, and a big empty white area where the body
of the message should be.

If I click on Delete, it seems to delete the message, but then
re-appears a minute later.

Am I the only one having this problem? I am only seeing this with the
Multiple Inboxes. Clearing cache/cookies doesn't seem to help.

Thanks,
Andy

It's working OK for me, in IE 7. I have two extra Inboxes, and the
messages display and delete properly. (Just checked, to be sure.)

Andy,

With my multiple inboxes, one of the critieria I match for a couple of the boxes is to include spam and trash.  What you're described below is the results I get when I view a message that's already trashed, or marked as spam.  If I use the "View All" link at the top to make it a "normal search", then it works as expected.  I figured this was a result of the fact that it was still an "inbox" and spam/trash were not desirable.  Are you sure the messages you're getting this response on is not already trashed?

Yes, that's it exactly. Messages in spam apparently aren't available
in that particular view, even though they are listed.

Strange, since they are available in every other view that includes
them. I consider it a bug.

There's also some weirdness because attempting to view one of them (if
it was unread) or mark it as read, causes the unread count to decrease
for about 10 seconds, then it pops back up again.

Anyway, thanks.

Andy
