Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

I have Junk email folder which is filtered on server this folder marked as Junk and have corresponding icon. Lately after starting up TB I'm start receiving new mail notification icon when there no new messages only in Junk folder. This account also marked by small asterisk (new message).
I though maybe problem because of bug 482754, but looks like it still there even after fix of this bug.

Attachment: proposed fix

yes, this is highly annoying - I believe this is most commonly caused by imap auto sync doing a status on the folder, and we notice there are more unread messages than last time, and so mark the folder as having new. We shouldn't do this for junk or trash folders.

I'm putting this in b3 because it was annoying enough that I had to track it down. It's especially annoying with gmail because my gmail spam folder gets a lot of new mail, so I was getting biff firing fairly regularly, but no new mail anywhere...

Looks good on non-gmail accounts too.
