225356 - New option: Do not display new Junk mail

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 189289

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[Karl Weinmeister]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4a (20031110)

This is a request for a minor product enhancement - to provide a checkbox under 
Junk mail controls or under Preferences, whereby the user can elect to not see 
new mail notification when a new message arrives in the Junk folder.

Why is this helpful?  On my Yahoo account, probably 90% of e-mail I receive is 
spam.  Thus, 9 times out of 10 when I check my account due to seeing the new 
mail icon on the systray, it is something from my Junk mail folder.  It would 
be nice to have the option to not show the icon when it is new Junk mail.  
Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive new mail into Junk mail folder
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
New mail icon shown

Expected Results:  
It would be nice to have the option to not show icon for junk mail.
