Description

[Ulf Zibis]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
Build ID: 20130201065344

Steps to reproduce:

- received plenty new emails, filtered into several folders
- every folder, containing new emails is coloured blue and has a little sun icon
- incidentally or by intention TB was closed



Actual results:

- after restart, all new mail indications were lost
--> so I was not able to remember, in which folder are which new received emails


Expected results:

- after restart, all new mail indications should reappear
- this behaviour should be configurable by a new option

What do you call by your "all new mail indications"?
What kind of "attribute, property, flag, keyword, state, ,,, defined by protocol named IMAP" does correnspond to the "all new mail indications" which you call?

I mean the visual indications (star, colour) on folders, unrelated to IMAP, which show me, if there are new mails in those folders, which e.g. could be customized by userChrome.css like e.g.:
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, newMessages-true) {
    color: blue !important;
}
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(new) {
    font-weight: bold !important;
    text-decoration: underline !important;
    color: red !important;
}
