195827 - I don't get visual notification of where I have new mail: filtered mail isn't visible in the mailbox window.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 57660

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[paul beard]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

When I get mail filtered in a mailbox that's a subset of another mailbox (for
example, INBOX -> bugzilla) the bugzilla mailbox is not highlighted, so I have
to check all my mailboxes to see where I have new mail. Kind of defeats the
purpose of filters. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. get filtered mail
2. see system tray notification
3. click on each mailbox to see where it landed

Actual Results:  
I find it

Expected Results:  
I shouldn't have to look for it: the Inbox is highlighted when unfiltered mail
goes there. I expect the same thing in filtered mail. My FreeBSD builds don't
have this problem in 1.3a or 1.3b.

This is similar to Bug 186573, but not quite a dupe, I don't think.

paul beard, are you still seeing this symptom in a current build?

I'm not running Windows anymore (I Switched) so I can't verify if it's still
there in a newer build. 

Sorry.

Bug 202783 is marked as a duplicate, but it does provide additional information:
the bug also shows up when filters move mail from one account to another.  I
think that's something that should be taken into account when solving this bug
(a bold-unbold mailbox is different from an account with/without a green "new
mail" arrow).

This appears to be a duplicate of bug 57660.
Note that bug 57660 comment 7 (where the summary was changed) is the actual 
description; the original report in that bug is different.

Rotaluclac: I think the green-arrow issue you are talking about is Bug 116181.

@#8, Mike Cowperthwaite:

No.  Bug 116181 talks about a green arrow that does not _disappear_.  I'm
talking about a green arrow that does not _appear_ (when filters move mail from
the Inbox of one account to any mailbox on another account).

Paul Beard, I may have marked this bug as a duplicate in error -- I thought 
originally you were talking about updating the unread message count, and turning 
the folder name bold if there were no unread messages previously; but now I 
think you may have been talking about the 'green arrow' notification.

Either way, this appears to have been fixed across the board, as of 1.4b-0509, 
except for the item from Bug 202783 about the green arrow also appearing on the 
account node where new mail has been filtered to (which I erroneously had marked 
as a dupe).
