33769 - IMAP: No status bar msg "No new messages on server"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 20176

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[laurel]

Using 2000-30-29-09m15 commercial build linux rh6.0

There is no status bar feedback to an IMAP user when clicking Get Msg if there
are no new messages to retrieve from the server.  This gives the impression that
the button isn't doing anything. 

Note:  this status message does appear for POP and NNTP accounts.

1.  go to mail, login to IMAP account, Get Messages.
2.  Get Messages again when you know there are no new messages to retrieve.

Result:  the status bar text doesn't change at all -- stays as previously was
before the get message.

Expected:  text to provide feedback to user that there were no new messages to
get.

Laurel - I think we have another bug on this filed by an external person.  I'll 
try to find it.
