291454 - Invalid notification for certain filtered messages under IMAP

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

TB 1.0.2, TB 1.0+0414, Win2K.  IMAP account on fastmail.fm; deletion model is 
Mark As Deleted.

If a message in this IMAP account is filtered with Mark Read and Move to Local 
Folder, there is no notification initially.  If I am viewing the Inbox when the 
message arrives, I can (usually) see it appear briefly, then disappear 
completely, in the Thread pane.  Whether or not the Inbox is selected when the 
message arrives, when I select the Inbox *after* the message arrives, the 
message reappears, marked as deleted.  This is all true in Mozilla 1.8b2 builds 
as well as Thunderbird.

However, in Thunderbird only: when the deleted message appears, I get a 
notification: alert, tray icon, and New flag on the account.  The message status 
is Read.  As with bug 116181, the only way to clear the tray icon and New flag 
is to select some other folder under the account.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Set up an IMAP account with a filter that marks a message read and moves it 
to a local folder.
2) Send a message to that account that will trigger the filter.
3) Wait until the message arrives (watch the target folder, since there will not 
be any notification of the arrival).
4) Switch to Inbox

Actual results:
Deleted copy of message appears in Inbox and TB notifies "1 new message..."

Expected results:
No notification

A similar notification occurs when the account has been configured with the Move 
To Trash delete model, there have been some messages deleted from the Inbox, and 
then the account is switched to the Mark As Deleted model.

This also happens to me on Windows XP (latest patches applied). Whenever I get 1
e-mail, the notification pop-up box says 3 new messages but the folder that the
mail is sorted into only says 1 (which is correct). I can't seem to reproduce
this behavior on Thunderbird for MacOS X though.

Isn't possible to launch the notifications display after the filters ?
