370384 - Unread/bold folder when folder is emptied from a different IMAP client

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Tim K]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: version 2 beta 2 (20070116)

For an IMAP account I use both TB and pine to access it. Sometimes using pine I delete and expunge all messages from a folder that's visible in TB and set to auto-check for new messages in TB. When the folder has new messages in it it's shown in bold with the count of new messages, e.g. [b]SomeFolder (5)[/b]. After it's emptied from pine, the new message count is removed but the folder is still shown bold until the folder is clicked on in TB. The folder doesn't have any other child folders.

This has been a bug since the 1.x days. I was hoping to see it gone in TB2, but it's still here ...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Manage IMAP account via TB and another client (e.g. pine)
2. Have a folder with unread messages, TB will show it bold + unread count
3. Delete + expunge the folder from the other mail client (e.g. pine)
4. TB still shows the folder in bold but the count is removed. The bold status goes away if the folder is clicked on in TB.
Actual Results:  

TB still shows the folder in bold but the count is removed. The bold status goes away if the folder is clicked on in TB.

Expected Results:  

The bold status should be removed when the unread count is removed.


Broken since 1.x, still broken in TB2 beta 2.
