92679 - Sometimes received POP messages are automatically marked as read while Inbox remains bold and without unread message number

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 17943

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Dimitrios]

Make a filter that moves messages into the Trash folder. Send a message to
yourself that complies to the above filter's criterion. 
Expected results:
The messages being moved are still marked unread (displayed as bold in preview
pane). In folder pane, Trash is displayed as bold and the number of unread
messages it contains are also displayed
Actual results:
The messages being moved into Trash are not marked unread. In folder pane, Trash
is displayed with bold characters but there's no indication for the # of unread
messages.

Additional notes: 100% reproducible bug and it wasn't there a few weeks ago
(regression). Moving action to other folders is working as expected, only move
to Trash is an issue. Saw it on 2001072703 (trunk), on pop3 account, alternative
3 pane view.

wfm on win2k builds 2001072208, 2001072703, 2001072808

I get expected results for both message views.

You may have magical powers :-) since I no longer can reproduce it. I was seeing
it for a couple of weeks and now it's gone. Another glitch inside Mozilla that
disappears without myself being able to give an explanation ?
Q&A: please leave this bug open until the mail/news folder pane use the new
outliner.

I attached a screenshot because the bug re-appeared in my machine yesterday,
without installing a new build. Today I can't reproduce it, again. The funny
think is that yesterday's reappearance of the bug was noted after filtering a
message from a (very well known) troll in mozilla performance newsgroup. Sorry
for spamming but I don't know what to do with this bug. Trying a new profile is
out of the question for me, since I don't want to loose my inbox (I'm not using
other email clients anymore). Maybe someone else could confirm.

Attaching another screenshot where the problem appears in all of it's weirdness:
An oldest test message is kept unread while the newer (on the top of the list)
has been (falsely) marked read. That's why folder pane indicates 1 unread
message for Trash while it should show 2. Hoping I made things clear, this time.

Today I repeatedly reproduced it without using filter, on build 2001080508.
While offline, I just mailed myself ("Send Later"). Then I went offline and
responded "Yes" to the prompt for automatically sending unsent messages. Then
waited a few seconds to assure message has been received on incoming POP server,
then I pressed "Get Messages". Received message is marked read (and, again, it's
icon has this green arrow attached) while "Inbox" is bold but without the
appropriate unread number (just like the previous screenshot. Changing summary &
component.

We already have a bug about sending later being sent as read status... see bug 17943

 Somehow I think bug 17943 doesn't entirely cover my case. I 'll take a look at
it, when 17943 is fixed.

Marking verified duplicate.
If you come up with a reproducible case in current builds, and/or still see it
after 17943 is fixed you can either reopen this or log a new report.
