Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 138095

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

Each time mail is recieved the number of new emails replaces the prior count in
the system tray.  It should be added to the prior total, then zeroed when the
notification is removed from the tray.  With automatic mail downloads turned on,
I might have twenty new emails, but the system tray says just one. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.download some email
2.download some more email without looking at the first batch
3.observe new messages count in system tray and compare to actual number.

Actual Results:  
I had three new messages, but the New Message count in the system tray was one.

Expected Results:  
The New Message count should have been three.
