I would expect that regardless of how I get a folder highlighted in the
folder list that such folder would display its contents (bonus for
automatically applying the still active quick-search). 

As it is now, I can click on folderA, see its contents; but if I then
use up/down arrows, the folder list highlights folderB while still
displaying folderA's contents. This is counter-intuitive to me. 

While the folder list now highlights folderB, the contents of folderA are
in the message list -- I can click on other messages of folderA; but
folderB stays highlighted.  Seems to me the interface should be more
synched. Just pointing out something that could cause confusion...

HTH,
Pierre
