Steps to reproduce:

Have two POP3 mailboxes configured in Thunderbird. Make a filter that would automatically move messages from mailbox 1 to mailbox 2 (in my case: forward mailbox 2 to mailbox 1 server-side and split messages between the two accounts on client-side, in Thunderbird, basing on the "To:" header). Receive a message by mailbox 1 that will be moved to mailbox 2 by the filter.


Actual results:

When all the received messages are moved from mailbox 1's Inbox to mailbox 2's Inbox by the filter, mailbox 2's Inbox gets marked with the new message indicator (blue font), but:
- the mailbox 2's name stays in BLACK font (should probably become blue, just like its Inbox),
- the mailbox 1's name stays in BLUE font (should be black, because it has no new messages),
- the mailbox 1's name turns black (as it should) when you enter mailbox 1's Inbox (which has NO undread mail, so should have been black from the beginning).



Expected results:

When all the received messages are moved from mailbox 1's Inbox to mailbox 2's Inbox by the filter, it's the mailbox 2's Inbox and name that should have been marked with the new message indicator (blue font).

Present in version 60.6.1, defect present in a bunch of previous versions also.

Defect reproducible each time, also in safe mode (in other words, no add-on is causing the defect).

Additionally, the blue font on mailbox 2's Inbox disappears after restart. This may be another bug, but this may equally well be a feature (closing the program means all mail was acknowledged and no new mail was received after restart, so no reason for blue font).

This is a cosmetic issue, but it may be confusing to users.
The defect is a bit similar to the following defects or various parts of them:
