Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Berian Williams]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

The new emails shown for one specific account is always incorrect. Even when I
have 0 new emails, the list shows at least 45, up to thousands. 45 of my old
emails are marked as new, even though they were first delivered months ago.
Marking them as read again causes the same thing to happen a few minutes later.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait a few minutes after marking folder as read. List shows 45 new emails.
2. Wait, the longer I wait, the more new emails show, up to thousands.
3. Click account inbox, to see the same 45 emails OLD emails marked as new.
4. Mark account is read again.

Actual Results:  
The steps will occur again a few minutes later, whether I alt-tab out or leave
the Thunderbird window active.

Expected Results:  
Left the account with 0 new emails until a genuine new email arrived.

Bug occurs in Thunderbird 1.0 and 1.02. 

Only extension is installed is Minimize to Tray (version 0.0.1.20041203+)
