Steps to reproduce:

- filter mails of a@b.c to local folder C on deeper level
- collapse upper level folder tree, where folder C is in

Actual results:

- no visible folder is high-lighted blue to indicate the new received mail



Expected results:

dataloss, because info about new mail could be overseen and is lost forever after restart.

calling this dataloss cheapens the term, which I don't think you want to do. It is datalossy, though.
