444654 - Trashed/spam messages are counted as New Messages by tray notification

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 228168

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Matthew McDevitt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.14 (20080421)

The small tray icon that appears when a new message has arrived is WOEFULLY stupid. If a message arrives, and is sent directly to the trash by a filter, Thunderbird STILL gets all excited like I just got an e-mail from Grandma.

I think any messages that go straight to the trash should be EXCLUDED from being called "New Messages".

It says "Local Folders has 1 new message". Ok, that's fine -- how do I move the Trash folder one level UP from Local Folders, so it isn't counted?

Please let me know what you plan to do.

Being able to configure "which folder is monitored" would be sufficient. But I looked through the Options, and there is no place where I can tell Thunderbird where to monitor for new messages. It's always "Local folders" which includes the trash can unfortunately.

SOP is to dupe to 228168, it appears.

Bug 226168 is specific to IMAP.  Matthew, are you using IMAP?  From your bug description, it sounds like you're using POP mail with a global inbox.

It sounds to me like the bug here is that using "Move, to Trash" for a filter is causing notification.  What if you use the Delete Message filter action instead?
