94604 - Messages are incorrectly marked as read instead of new

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 85588

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

Description

[Doug Ledford]

My mail setup checks my imap server for new messages once every 2 minutes.  If
there is more than 1 message for a given folder in that 2 minute interval, then
only one of the messages will get marked as new, subsequent messages get marked
as read even though I have not seen them.  This makes the count of new messages
wrong on my system.

what build id are you running? My guess is that this was fixed a couple days ago.

Additional note.  I've been able to isolate the problem down to the following:

If there are multiple emails going into the same folder on a single check of my
imap mail server, then the last of those emails will be marked read while all
the others will be marked as new.  So, if it checked 10 times and had 2 emails
to download into a folder each time, then 10 of those would be new and 10 would
be already read.  OTOH, if it checked once and found 81 emails to download, then
80 would be marked as new and 1 as read.

My email setup is with a remote IMAP mail server and a set of filter rules that
always download all messages into local folders (I have a "catch-all" rule so
that any messages that don't get sorted into a specific folder then get sent to
the Inbox on my local mail) and the program automatically checks for new
messages once every 2 minutes.

There's already a bug about filtering imap messages to local folders marking the
messages read. Is it fair to say this a dup of that?

I would say so.

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

Looks like a DUP to me, also.  Verified.
