421542 - New mail notification stops working after first new mail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 378150

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Casper Gripenberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.12 (20080213)

New mail notification does not happen when there already is another new mail. System tray icon shows "...1 new message", even if more new messages are present.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 official release. This problem is present with both IMAP and POP based folders. 

How I reproduce it repeatedly:

1: Created a brand new Thunderbird profile to make sure everything is set as defaults (although no amount of tweaking later seems to change the buggy behaviour..but anyway)

2: I use the wizard to set up my GMail POP account. All default settings are used.

3: Leave the TB (Thunderbird) window open so you can see the incoming e-mails. Doesn't matter if TB is focused or not (I test as unfocused).

3: I use another computer to send an e-mail to my GMail account

4: The e-mail arrives. TB downloads it and gives me the new mail notification sound and pop up in the Windows System Tray. Everything OK so far.

5: Mouse over the e-mail icon in the tray and note that it says "...1 new message"

6: I send another new e-mail to my GMail account.

7: TB downloads it and it appears in the inbox list flagged as a new e-mail (the orange star next to the subject). BUG! -> But the new mail notification does not pop up, nor is there any sound played <- BUG!

8: BUG -> Mouse over the tray icon: it still says "...1 new message" <- BUG


Actual Results:  
No new mail notification popup is displayed nor the new mail sound played.

Expected Results:  
New mail notification sound should be played and popup shown for every new mail.

This seems to have been the case with earlier TB versions, but at some point..not sure with which version..this stopped working.


Windows XP SP2. Thunderbird installed in non-standard location (D:\Apps).

Bug 138095 is about the tray not updating, the rest is bug 210148.
