Description

[Chris]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Tbird version 1.0.2 (20050317) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I have 3 mail accounts.  After the first account is downloaded the 'New Mail'
alert sounds if there was new mail.  Tbird then goes on to download the next two
accounts but will not sound again.

If there is no new mail on the first account the new mail alert does not sound
for any mail downloaded from either of the other two accounts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download mail to empty all accounts.
2.Send mail to account 2 or account 3
3.Get mail again - no alert sounds

Actual Results:  
Alert sounds for the first download if there was maill in account 1

Expected Results:  
Wait until all accounts are downloaded, then sound the alert if any of them had
mail.  Alternayively, sound the alert on each account UNLESS it has alredy
sounded in this GetMail.

For some reason my OS and Tbird version are not showing - W98SE and 1.0.2

And this may be related to bug290194

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
