446546 - New folders with messages do not show there are new messages in them

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Matěj Cepl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008071615 Fedora/3.0.1-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: thunderbird-2.0.0.14-1.fc9.x86_64

(originally filed as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456142)

When new messages are recieved in thunderbird direct to external IMAP folders in
F9 (I'm using WebSieve) the folders do not show the unread message counts and
whether they have new messages (this usually shows by having the folder name in
bold) unless the user clicks on the folder.  I have had this confirmed by other
F9/tbird users.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.   Get new messages in a folder
2.   See if it's bold (it won't be)
3.   Click on it (now you will see the message count and it will show as bold)
Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
Shows bold with message count as results come in.

There's a pref for it - mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new
You can also go into the folder properties and set it on a per folder level.

->INVALID as the feature exists
There is some bug open on enabling it by default, but that does have some downsides as well.
