163859 - Saving copies of outgoing messages in inbox triggers email notification

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Christoffer Soop]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020815
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020815

Saving copies of outgoing messages in the inbox triggers email notification even
though the copies have a "read" status.  It seems like the email notification
triggers on a state change of the inbox regardless of whether there are any new
messages or not.  Only new and _unread_ messages ought to trigger a new mail
notification.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change settings to save messages in inbox
2. Send a mail somewhere
3. Wait for the popup to appear
4. Behold - no new messages in inbox, only a copy of the sent message!

Actual Results:  
Email notification popup indicating one new message

Expected Results:  
Popup on new and _unread_ mail

Arguably, copies of outgoing mail is new to the mailbox but I do not need to be
informed of the fact that I just sent a message.

Forgot to mention that I am using IMAP, I'd guess that is relevant.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
