305902 - Wrong 'total' and 'unread' number in saved search folders in some cases

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

In some cases in saved search folders the number of unread and the total number
of messages are wrong. This happens sometimes when you do a search on a folder
that is deeper in hierarhy, but this is not always the case. If this bug appears
when creating a saved search based on some folder, I can always reproduce this
on that particular folder.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on some folder
2. Choose search messages
3. Do a search and save as saved search folder (in suggested location)

Actual Results:  
When you open a saved search folder, "total' and 'unread' counter are wrong -
that are exactly the same as counters in folder that was searched.

Ok, I think I've discovered under which conditions this occurs.

1. It occurs when you search a folder that has no subfolders.
2. It occurs when you search a folder that has subfolders but you choose not to
search subfolders.

Do this:
1. Folder structure
A
   B
       C

2. Right-click on folder B and select "search messages"
3. Do a search and save as search folder
4. Repeat, this time uncheck "search subfolders"
5. See the difference in counters

 Matjaz, do you see this when using version 2?

Here is an example of this problem in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20090121 Shredder/3.0b2pre: saved search is stil marked as containing new message after you move this message to another folder (junk mail for example).

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20090223 Thunderbird/3.0b2

Same issue here.

I have all mail in the inbox and use search folders based on rules and tags.
The total unread is wrong all the time, until I click the search folder and the the number is instantly corrected.  This bug was present in all versions of 2 as well.

I'm fairly certain that it caused because one of the rules marks certain emails as read, but the totals are not updated at this point.

Matjaz and\or James what about comment #5?
Using latest TB 3.0.4 the bug is gone as in comment #5?

I haven't noticed it recently, although I have recently moved to 3.1b1 due to some issues with 3.0.x and dramatically cut down my use of search folders.

Is it worth me doing any testing for this bug in lanikai 3.1b1?
