697341 - New mail notification can only be reset by clicking on main Inbox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 313694

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Ken Lanham]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/14.0.835.202 Safari/535.1

Steps to reproduce:

Set filter to automatically move incoming emails to specific subfolder eg "Work". One email arrives and is diverted to "Work" folder. Main Inbox heading is set to bold and system tray displays "New Mail" Icon. Email is opened in "Work" folder, and no other emails remain unread. 


Actual results:

Main Inbox heading remains bold and system tray "New Mail" icon remains. These can only be reset by clicking in the main Inbox folder.


Expected results:

Main Inbox heading should be set to normal and system tray "New Mail" icon should disappear when last unread email is opened no matter where that email is. Note: This problem only occurs with emails that are automatically moved (with a filter) to a sub-folder under local folders and then read without clicking in the main Inbox.

Is this an IMAP folder? the closest bug I found to this is bug 573158.
