290877 - Total message count missing in the folder tree, only unread

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Dirk Schoettler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414
Build Identifier: Thunderbird Version 1.0.2 (20050317)

In contrast to Mozilla suite, TB only shows the count of *unread* messages in
the folder pane (tree) left.

The option to toggle "unread" or "Total" counters is in TB now missing, you have
to check every single folder to get the each number messages in the bottom
status bar.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download messages
2. take care, that at least is marked as read


Actual Results:  
In the folder pane, no counter of total mails per folder is available.

Expected Results:  
As in Mozilla Mail, the folder pane should have an toggle option with "Total" or
"Unread" selectable. 
If Total is selected, right to every folder the count of its total messages
should be shown.

Set this option:

Tools | Options | Advanced
  [x] Show expanded columns in the folder pane

Now you've got the column selector in the folder pane, and you can pick Total or 
Size as well as Unread.
