User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100207 Firefox/3.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100225 Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0.2



Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
If you use ssl or tls imap (maybe with pop3 too) connection, the account icon on folder list has no lock symbol. This can confuse some people and they think the connection is not encrypted.


OS: Archlinux
TB: 3.0.2

I think it's a theme problem, because other themes show a "lock" symbol then.

On Windows also the default theme works correctly, but not on Linux.

Bryan runs on Linux, so he would know if this is a problem with the default linux theme.

If you're talking about the lock icons for accounts in the folder pane, they were removed from the Linux theme during the 3.0 cycle.  We have another bug on this somewhere that this could become a duplicate of.

Essentially we felt that on a day to day basis this status doesn't change so it's unnecessary for the average person to see a "secure account" type of icon.  There's no active choice in the matter like there can be for http where you might have connected to a site that hasn't bumped you over to https before you enter your passwords.  Either an account is secure or it isn't.  That said this is one of those changes that is for the better but at the same time can cause confusion because we used to do something different.

Can nobody fix this little theme problem? Other themes show the correct icon, why not the default theme?
