175389 - Unread and Total message count not incremented when new mail is received.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 92789

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Dana J. Dawson]

Using Mozilla 1.1, when I download new messages, the "Unread" and "Total" 
message counts are not automatically updated to reflect the new messages, and 
the names of folders that currently don't contain any unread messages (and 
therefore are not listed in a bold typeface) are not automatically changed to 
bold to reflect that there are new messages in that folder.  When I select a 
folder to view the messages in that folder, then the counts and bolding are 
correctly updated.

Background information:  I had just installed Mozilla 1.1 in hopes of migrating 
away from Netscape 4.79 as my mail app and noticed this behavioral difference.  
This was a big enough nuisance to me that I have switched back to using the old 
Netscape, so I can no longer perform testing.  I also really, really like 
the old Netscape's "Message Center" feature, but I guess I'll have to learn to 
live without that if I migrate, since no other mail program has that feature.
