250537 - new feature: total count of unread messages of a folder with subfolders, accumulating the subfolders unread count

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Luigi Capriotti]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9

In the "local folders" I've created a main folder "a" and two subfolders "b" and
"c". Assuming folder "a" does not contain unread messages, folder "b" contains 2
unread messages - and is seen as "b (2)" in bold in the tree - while folder "c"
has 3 unread messages - thus is seen as "c (3)" in bold.
Now, folder "a" unread count ignores the 5 unread messages in the subfolders,
while I'd like to have the "a" folder showing as "a (5)" in bold.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a folder "folder1" in local folders
2.create two subfolders "folder2" and "folder3" in "folder1"
3.populate the "folder2" with two unread messages
4.populate the "folder3" 1 two unread messages


Actual Results:  
unread count for "folder1" is 0 

Expected Results:  
unread count for "folder1" should be 3

Identical to bug 135092 for MailNews product.

Related to/duplicate of bug 235956?

Indeed it is a dupe.

Sorry, I am mistaken, every so slightly.  This bug is about putting the 
children's unread count next to a *folder*; bug 235956 is about putting the 
unread count next to the *account* only.  A distinction without a difference in 
my mind, but I don't want to argue about it.
