549164 - No new/unread mail indicator in doc icon

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 518828

(Thunderbird :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Chris Hibbert]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.249.49 Safari/532.5
Build Identifier: 3.0.2

I upgraded to 3.0.2 (from 2.xx) and stopped seeing the flag in the doc icon indicating that mail had recently been received.    I downgraded, and the old behavior returned.  I re-upgraded to 3.0.2, and the first time mail was automatically retrieved, the flag was displayed, but it has never been displayed since then.  Mail is automatically retrieved (via POP) a few times a day, but there's no indicator when there is new mail.

I have tried changing various hidden configuration flags, to no avail.  I read the entire discussion for bug 518828, but the people complaining there have a different problem than me.

I use POP.  I never use IMAP.  I don't use TB to retrieve news or subscribe to RSS or anthing else.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wait for thunderbird to retrieve mail
2. look at the doc icon.  No indicator of new mail.
3. Open TB.  Sometimes there's new mail, sometimes there isn't.


Expected Results:  
When new mail is retrieved, there should be a red flag with a count of new mails recently retrieved.

Mac OS X 10.5.8.  A MacBook.

Non the less it's the same issue - as it's the behavior change that is troubling you.
