216754 - Folders not updating their status

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

I've created some folders and some mail rules to automatically moves mail from
certain adressed in them. I realised after some time that those folders never
update their status, meaning that they never show they have new e-mail unless i
actually click on them. Then i have the surprise to see them suddenly updating,
by changing the font to bold and showing in paranthesis they have x new email
messages. Even if i read the mail, close the mail client and reopen it won't do
anything. The folders still show as no new email, but when i click they update
their status.

This may be related to bug #216748, another bug i'm experienced.

Reproducible: Always

I think I've seen this one too, when I used Mozilla Application Suite, usually
related to mail on other accounts but the first...
Not seen it since I've switched to Thunderbird

I forgot to say that, as in bug #216748, this problem appears in Moz 1.1, 1.3,
1.4 and in Netscape 7.0 and 7.1 (which i'm using now).
