The status/count of unread messages after each folders name is not updated.

To reproduce the bug, do this:

Using the following setup:

- Cyrus IMAP server with some shared folders (non user folders)
- Mozilla 1.0 MailNews client configured to "show all folders"

Doing this:

- With another mail client setting a random message as "unread" or putting a
message into one of the shared folders (not under the INBOX. domain)

This happens:

- The number of unread messages displayed after the folder-name is not updated
in Mozilla until you click on that folder. It should be updated every time you
choose "Get new messages" or at least after re-starting MailNews.
This is annoying if you want to quickly check if something has changed in any of
the IMAP folders and subfolders, you need to "click-through" all of the folders
and sub-folders.

What is expected to happen:

- By simply hitting the "Get new messages" button, all "unread" counters should
be updated.

NOTE: This seems to happen also under Windows 2000.

This is a dup of bug 18266 which is now fixed. Here's a quick hint in case
you're still having a problem with this (the user interface is slightly hidden).
For the folders that you want to automatically update open the folder properties
and select "Check this folder for new messages". There is also a pref to enable
checking all folders see bug 18266 comment #140 and on for the current behaviour.
