155392 - Sent messages marked as unread

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Misty Stanley-Jones]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020611
BuildID:    2002061103

I am using GNOME 2.0 beta 1 (internal Solaris build) on Solaris 8.  I have
noticed the following behavior.  If I open a compose (or reply, forward, etc)
window, and put it onto a different workspace than the one that the main
mail/news window resides on, and I send off the message, I go back to the
workspace where the mail/news client resides, and the message I just sent is
marked as "Unread."  This is not a HUGE deal but a little annoying as I have to
click on Sent and click the message to mark it read.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1 Open a compose window of some variety.
2.Move said window to a different workspace (or tell it to occupy all workspaces
and switch to a different workspace).
3.Send the message.
4.Go back to the main window and notice that the message is marked Unread.

Actual Results:  Message marked as unread.

Expected Results:  Sent mail should always be marked as read, unless you
explicitly mark it otherwise.

It's up to the clients of the mail db to mark messages read (in this case, the
compose/copy to sent folder process) - the db can't guess what the client wants :-)

In that case, can you transfer this to the appropriate group?

Comment 3

[David :Bienvenu]

I switched it to composition already.

Sent message copied to sent folder marked as unread?

I find it quite anoying that even the new mail indication shows up for mails
that I sent a few minutes ago.
Those should be marked read by default because I just wrote them!

This could be achvieved by a filter rule if there was a way to limit that rule
to new messages in a single folder  -- which is currently not possible.

I think this behaviour is platform independent.

this is a duplicate of #183377 ... or the other way round

I don't understand this "workspace" concept which somehow manages to get mail
send confused about whether the message is read/unread in the sent folder. Does
this happen if you don't switch to a different workspace? Is it a different
mozilla account or something?

I'm not sure if this is the same bug, but I randomly see some emails flagged as
"Unread" in the sent mail folder.  I can't see any pattern why only some emails
get flagged unread while some don't.  Mozilla doesn't appear to check the Sent
mail folder for new messages, so it only notices that there are 5 unread
messages (or whatever) in there when I start hunting back for an old sent message.

I'm storing my Sent mail on a Cyrus IMAP server, perhaps it has something to do
with imap?

Which in turn was duped to bug 162475.  Misty Stanley-Jones, are you still monitoring bugmail?  Still having this problem?  Is it a dupe?

Emily, do you see this problem?

I have verified this case on X86 and SPARC machines, the OS and TB release are as follows:
S10u6wos_02 + TB 2.0.0.14
Snv_93 Vermillion_95 + TB 2.0.0.14
Snv_93 Vermillion_95 + TB 3.0a2pre

This problem has been fixed.

Can not reproduce this bug on Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris. Change to WFM.
