268449 - New Messages Counter displays "you have 1 new message" event if I have 2 or 3

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 138095

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Timo Steinbach]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 Thunderbird 0.9

I set up Thunderbird to check my mailboxes (POP3) every 3 minutes. If I receive
an email there is a visual notification telling me that I have 1 new message.
Some hours later ...
In the meanwhile I received 5 more emails. The visual notification never shows
up again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Thunderbird to check email every minute.
2. Send one email to the account.
3. Wait until Thunderbird recognizes the email and shows "your have 1 new message"
4. Send a second email to the account.


Actual Results:  
There is no visual alert for the second, third ... email

Expected Results:  
At the moment there is a second/third/... email, the visual alert should pop up
again and should state "you have 3 new messages", "you have 4 new messages", ...
The counter should reset to 0 at the moment I read ONE of the new messages.

It countes the email correct, if all the email are received in one
session/pop3check/emaildownload (or whatever I should call that).
