Reproducible: Always Actual Results: If you have a lot of unread messages then check open MailNew, the dock new mail badge could potentially be in the thousands if you have a lot of old mail that you haven't marked as read. Expected Results: In releases previous to 2.0, the mail count showed only recently downloaded unread mail. There's a patch being worked on for Thunderbird (Bug #518828). I'd like to see it integrated with SeaMonkey.

Hi Cecelia, if the patch I provided gets committed to the repository, it will update both Thunderbird and SeaMonkey. This particular code is shared between the two of them.
(In reply to comment #1) Hello, Patrick, Thanks for letting me know. I asked in the Thunderbird bug but didn't get an answer. I just wanted to make sure that SeaMonkey didn't get left behind and it'd be nice to get it sooner rather than later.
No longer depends on: 518828

no string changes on 2.0.x, if this is done then it can only land on a non-string-frozen tree (like 2.1).

The pref mail.biff.use_new_count_in_mac_dock introduced in bug 518828 is working as designed in SeaMonkey trunk builds. We're not going to add UI for it for the time being.
