286018 - Converting Netscape 4.x profile to Mozilla produces spurious Unread indications in mail folders

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

First, this is a follow-on to bug 241839.  Existing Netscape
4.x profile includes a single POP mail source with about
50 local folders, single level only.  After manipulating the
system to get a successful conversion as per 241839, I
initially have all folders but 'Inbox' with a '???' unread 
mail count.  (Problem 1)  After left-clicking through the entire
list, 31 folders show one or more unread messages indicated by
count and by boldened text whereas the actual count in the
4.x environment was seven (7) (problem 2).  There's no other
indication of any corruption but the count is definitely wrong.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  See 241839


Actual Results:  
31 folders indicated unread messages.

Expected Results:  
Seven folder should have been indicated.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.
