85812 - no imap "update message counts"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 61428

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Nathan Neulinger]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18 i686)
BuildID:    all

I current use NS 4.7x to read imap mail. There are server side rules that filter
mail into folders. I can select all the folders and 'update message counts' to
immediately see what folders have new-unread mail in them. There doesn't appear
to be any way to do this on mozilla other than by manually going and clicking
open every folder. Obviously, that is completely rediculous. Is there any
alternative?

For me, this prevents use of mozilla at home. I'm using it full time at work for
web browsing, but using it for mail would be no good given this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up imap
2. Filter unread messages into several folders server-side
3.

Actual Results:  No way to see what folders have new mail.

Expected Results:  Would like to have some way to see what folders have new mail
in them without having to click on every folder.

same as 61428... serious shortcoming - in my case, makes using imap via mozilla
unusable.
