65030 - Why "Document: done" instead of "N new messages" on checking for mail?

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 49202

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

Maybe this is a really stupid request, but this is (at least for me) HIGHLY
annoying:
When i check for new mail, moz checks the server for mail, flashes up "No new
messages", then "Document: done (0.451 seconds)". Just from a usability point of
view, for me at least it would be 100x more important to know if there are any
new messages than the fact that MozMail checked my inbox at supersonic speed.

Basically, I think the message "No new messages on the server" should be visible
all the time. Especially on faster computers, that message is replaced almost
instantaneously with the "Document: done" message.

Couldn't agree more. It's already filed, however.
Dup of 49202 "statusbar tells "Document Done.." overwriting current item on
status bar"
