276227 - Linux version of Thunderbird doesn't show folder names with recent messages in blue

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[John Flynn]

The MacOS X version of Thunderbird shows folder names that have recent messages
(IE, new messages since the last time the folder was looked at) in blue. This is
a very useful feature as it tells you when mail has just arrived.

I cannot reproduce this useful behavior in the Linux version of Thunderbird.
There is no preference (in either the MacOS X or Linux versions) that seems to
control this behavior. I have no Windows system, so I cannot test to see if the
Windows version has this feature working or not.

Both platforms are running Thunderbird 1.0 and I copied the entire profile over
from the MacOS X version to the Linux version, so the configuration is identical.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
