290194 - New E-mail Notification not detecting new mail

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Wayne Sallee]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 1.0.2

The taskbar icon that let's you know when there is new mail by displaying that 
you have new mail, and how many pieces of new mail, and playing the sound, 
usualy just says that you have 1 unread mail even if you have gotten several 
in over a period of time, and does not pop up the notice of new mail each 
time, or play the sound. It usualy only pops up the notice and plays the sound 
on the first pice of new mail, but when that mail is not read, and more mail 
comes in, it does not notify or seem to know that there is more than one 
unread mail. When you click on it to read mail, then you see that there are 
actualy more than one unread email that has come in over the time that you 
have not clicked on the new mail icon.

Reproducable almost every time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Send yourself several pieces of e-mail from another email client and wait 
for your mailbox to recieve those pieces of e-mail.
2.You will see that the icon notifies you that you recieved a piece of e-mail, 
but does not let you know when the other e-mails come in, and if you put your 
mouse over the icon to see how many pieces of e-mail there is, it usualy will 
just say 1 piece of e-mail.
3.double click on the icon, and you will see that you actualy have several 
pieces of new e-mail waiting for you.

Actual Results:  
You are not notified of new email other than the first one.

Expected Results:  
Should have notified me each time I got a piece of e-mail, and the taskbar 
icon should have given the correct number of new e-mail.
