AFAIK this is intentional.

Comment 2

[David :Bienvenu]

I believe it's known, but not intentional per se.

Comment 3

[Bryan Clark (DevTools PM) [:clarkbw]]

Not a huge issue, but I wouldn't call this desired behavior.

I could observe same phenomenon of "icon of special folder is icon for ordinal folder upon folder creation" on Drafts(Templates too) with next build, but I couldn't see "restart needed(mandatory)" part.
> Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090925 Shredder/3.0pre

[Steps to reproduce]
(1) Dummy POP3 account is defined(no Global Inbox use).
    Copies&Folder setting is set as Drafts of the account by default.
(2) Drafts folder is not created by account creation, restart,
    viewing of Copies&Folders settings followed by click of OK.
    (It's by design change.)
(3) Create folder named "Drafts" -> icon of ordinal folder.
(4) Context menu of account/folder, Open -> new window is opened.
    -> Icon of Drafts folder is changed at the new window.
In latest nightly build, it looks simple folder pane refresh issue.

Just seen with TB 3.0.4:

When changing the "Sent" folder of an account or identity, sometimes the icons also do not change (from yellow folder to/from blue stamp (on windows)).

If you move the mouse over the tree row, they are updated.

Do you still observe that? For me the blue icon toggles immediately.

Sorry, this is now over 5 years - I dont have the original test environment (TB on Windows with KerioConnect IMAP server) any longer. However, in a quick test on OS X with TB 38.7.2, I could not reproduce the issue.
