139491 - Folder still shows as having new mail when it has none.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[John Stanford]

If you delete a new message without reading it the mailbox icon shows that this
account still has new mail in it when it has no new mail anymore and the inbox
icon says that you have no new mail. Also, if you get more than one new message,
when you open the first one to be read it marks the accoutn as having no new
mail even though the inbox folder still shows that you have more new mail.

Kevin: does the problem go away if you run Mozilla under a new profile?
If the Profile Manager doesn't come up automatically when you start up 
Mozilla, you can force it to by launching Mozilla from a console window:

          [(path to Mozilla)]./mozilla -profilemanager

Once the Profile Manager comes up, click on "Create Profile". Sometimes
bugs like this are profile-related, and the new profile may make a 
difference -

The above suggestion to fix bug #177707 had the side effect of clearing the
false new mail indicator on the Inbox that I had reported in dupe to this bug,
see #177124.
