1842420 - Unified folders lack a "mark folder read" menu option

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Bill Taroli]

Attachment: tb116b1-unified-folder-no-mark-read.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to mark a unified folder as read.

Actual results:

There is no menu option for this. User has to expand unified folder to mark one or more constituent folders read individually.

Expected results:

Should be able to mark unified folder read and have this apply to all constituent folders.

This bug query reveals some duplicate bug reports.

Well, “all subfolders” seemed too expansive since sone of my special folders (esp Sent) actually have other folders within them. But I guess it’s ok to roll them together. I’ll add a note there highlighting the concern.

I think this is a regression, not a duplicate. Thunderbird 102 could mark unified folders as read from the context menu.

My bad for not checking. The other duplicates to bug 843396 should also come here?

I thought wrong. Sort of. It worked for me because my 102 profile only had one account, and the unified folders inexplicably have different behaviour with only one account before 115.

Oh well, once this patch lands marking unified folders as read will work for any number of accounts.
