would be good to get this for 1.1. Looks like we already have the artwork so
it's just a matter of having the right CSS and making sure the right RDF
notification gets generated.

In CVS, I see the icon in the pinstripe theme (server-local-new.png) but not the
qute theme. Do you have the qute icon, Scott? I can try to get the css and rdf
notifications to work, if the notifications aren't already working.

when I add this css to qute's mailWindow1.css,

treechildren::-moz-tree-image(folderNameCol, biffState-NewMail, isServer-true,
serverType-none) {
  list-style-image: url("chrome://messenger/skin/icons/server-mail-new.png");
}

it works fine. So if we had a server-local-new.png, we could change the css
accordingly and it should just work. I'll attach a patch for pinstripe.

actually, it looks like pinstripe just uses blue+bold to indicate servers with
new mail, and doesn't even use server-mail-new.png, so perhaps we shouldn't be
including it in /mail/themes/pinstripe/mail/jar.mn (but I could be easily
missing something :-) )

Yup, feel free to nuke the image and the jar.mn entry for pinstripe.

No, we haven't gotten any new artwork yet. Still waiting on that.

Arvid gave us this icon for local folders. It's part of:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mail/themes/qute/mail/icons/server.png

I think we are just missing the CSS magic to use it. I'll try to hook that up.

The CSS for this was also added when the new theme landed:

http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&file=folderPane.css&branch=&root=/cvsroot&subdir=mozilla/mail/themes/qute/mail&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&rev1=1.3&rev2=1.4

So this should be working now although I don't have a pop account to verify against at the momemtn.
