All right, I can finally reproduce this consistently and this is my STR: - Have a a subfolder with a message in it, collapse the parent folder. - Mark the message inside the subfolder as unread (I used the gloda search to find it without accessing the folder) - The parent folder doesn't get the "unread" counter - Opening and closing the parent folder shows the "unread" count I think there are 2 fixes we need to perform here. 1. Back-end: Ensure the parent folder is notified and its properties change when receiving a new message in a subfolder that is not visible (Pinging Geoff for this). 2. Front-end: Use a different visual representation for the unread message indicator of a parent folder if the message is inside a subfolders, otherwise is misleading and clicking on the parent folder doesn't show any unread messages. (Pinging Micah for a design exploration on this)
