Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 86553

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Jim Strickland]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0

Currently, in Mac OS X, if you have Mozilla opened, but hidden, the only
indication given of new mail is a short bong. No visual indication is given. The
Mozilla icon in the dock should bounce to indicate new mail has arrived as is
the case with Apple's Mail and Microsoft's Entourage. If the icon doesn't
bounce, then some other visual indication should be present to indicate new mail
when Mozilla is hidden.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla Mail/News
2.Set Mozilla to automatically check for email at regular intervals
3.Hide Mozilla

Actual Results:  
When new mail arrives the only indication is a very short bong.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla icon in dock should bounce up and down to indicate new mail. Or some
other visual indication should be given.
