Description

[J.M. Hardin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: TB version 0.9 (20041103)

Since installing ver 0.9 if I right click on a folder and select "Mark Folder
Read" the folder name and message info lines will unbold but the messages are
not marked as read. I have to go through an select each message, mark it as
read, and then mark them unread.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get new messages
2. Right click on folder name
3. Select "Mark Folder Read"

Actual Results:  
The folder name and message summary lines are unbolded, but the messages
themselves are not marked unread, which can be seen by the new message icon/

Expected Results:  
The folders and messages should be marked as read, showing no new messages in
the folder

is this an imap folder or a local folder? If you look at the javascript console,
do you see any js exceptions thrown when you do this command? This works fine
for me...

It's a local folder, with mail automatically filtered. I didn't see anything in
the JS Console. It seems to be working properly now, but this morning it was
bugging the hell out of me. I'll check again later when I get more email and see
what happens.

Sorry for the delay. I was away from my comp yesterday. Today I got new email
and ricght clicked on a folder to mark it as read without it being the active
folder. The icon didn't change, but when I made the folder it changed to all
messages being read. It's not a biggie, but it sure is annoying, especially if
I've checked my mail via the web interface and then bring everything tnto Tb. i
get over 40 emails a day and many I just want to mark read in the folder without
having to select the folder and without the filter doing it for me.

Attachment: Screen shot of buggy behavior

This screen shot shows what I'm talking about with messages not being marked as
read. I tried to Mark Folder Read while another folder was active.

CORRECTION: As you see from my attached screen shot, I marked this folder as
read with a right click, but the new message (on the bottom) still has a new
message icon. This is the same behavior which prompted me to post the bug in the
first place. I have to manually mark the message read, then mark it unread.
