Details

If mail folders are changed by external programs (e.g. "procmail"), Mozilla only notices it if the folder is made the active folder (e.g. by selecting it with the mouse). If there is a large number of mail folders (e.g. mailing lists) that is written e.g. using "procmail", every single folder has to be selected with the mouse to find out, if the contents changed. This is very tedious. Mozilla should do this automatically (e.g. in defined time intervals), or at least provide a way to updated the "changed" information for *all* folders.
