Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 230367

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

I have mail filters set up so that most of my mail does not stay in the Inbox
(it goes to local sub folders).  When I receive new mail, and all of it gets
filtered to sub folders, the new mail notification in the task bar states that I
have "0 New Messages".  Apparently it only counts the Inbox.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Setup *local* folders for holding email and filters to shift email to them.
2.  Receive one or more emails that will get filtered, leaving none in the Inbox.
3.  Notice the New Mail Notification count.

Actual Results:  
The New Mail Notification count was zero.

Expected Results:  
The New Mail Notification count was zero.

I am using an IMAP server.  I have not tried this when filters move mail from
the Inbox to a sub folder on the server.  I have only tried it with sub folders
on my local machine.

I have been seeing this with IMAP for a while, but local folders as described
here works too. This is a dupe of bug 230367, though.
