When retrieving mail, in earlier versions, the inbox of additional accounts
always changed to bold and indicated the number of new messages.  It no longer
does until the inbox of the additional account is clicked.  Only the inbox of
the account that is active (highlighted) when clicking the "Get Msgs" button get
updated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up more than one mail account.  Set to retrieve mail automatically (opt.).
2. Send a mail to both accounts.
3. Highlight the inbox of one account and click the "Get Msgs" button.
4. Only the higlighted account gets updated.
5. Click the inbox of the second account and it immediately gets updated.

Actual Results:  
The active inbox gets updated showing "Inbox (1)" in bold indicating the new
mail.  The second account does not get updated until its inbox is clicked on. 

Expected Results:  
Indicated that both inboxes had new mail.
