259457 - tools > read mail reports new mail when none exists

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246143

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Kris Rieser]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

From the tools menu, read mail shows "Read Mail (2 New)". When I click it opens
my default mail client (TB 0.8), but no new mail exists. There never were two
new messages, and after half a day (normal os shutdowns, restarts, clearing
browser cache) the message still says "2 New". Just installed 1.0PR this morning
and the message has been there from the start. Please help!

Great product by the way! Keep up the good work!

Per this thread, TweakUI in Win XP seems to fix/reset the new mail count...

The first time I opened Firefox after a fresh install of 1.0 it pulled from TB
0.8 that I had 5 unread messages (which was correct) but has not updated the
data since then.
