Version: 4.8 (using Devel) OS: Linux For a "common" user the conflict resolution dialog is senseless and rather scary. I myself (not a newbie) have no clue on which modification should be choosen each time and in fact I pick totally at random. In real non-developer world conflicts should either be impossibile or be resolved automatically. With large modifications (like apply all filters to a large set of messages) the dialog may pop up several times: there should eventually be a "always pick this choice and don't ask me again" option. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Apply a large set of filters to a large number of messages. Browse around while the filtering agent is doing his job. Apply other filters, delete messages etc... the conflict resolution dialog will eventually popup. Actual Results: Conflict Resolution Dialog appears. Expected Results: No conflict... or conflict automatically resolved.
Agreed.
Conflict dialog should appear lot less in 4.9.3/4.10. As about its usability, I link the bug with another report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 288368 ***
