97021 - New messages in second and later newsgroups not detected

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Jason Goodman]

Configuration:
MailNews with one IMAP server and one Usenet server (news.earthlink.net)
configured.  Subscribed to two usenet groups: sci.space.tech and sci.space.science.

Producing the bug:
Launch MailNews from the Tasks menu.  Enter password for IMAP server.  Enter
username/password for Usenet server.  In folder list, IMAP inbox goes boldface
and shows number of unread messages in parentheses.  First newsgroup does
likewise.  Second and following newsgroups do not show number of new messages
until you click on them.

What should happen:
All newsgroups should show the number of unreads at startup.

Could you please add information on which mozilla build you are using,... ?

Comment 2

Mozilla 0.9.3 for Linux on i686.
Build ID: 2001080312

(Sorry 'bout that: Bugzilla said something about detecting some browser
information via the User-Agent: field, and I assumed the build ID was included.)

Use a newer build, Chris Waterson just checked in a fix for this tonight.

Verified WORKSFORME, with the following setup:

"After I posted" means, I made a test post, waited a couple of minutes, then
re-launched the client, and looked at the unread count (bold in parenth) in the
Folder Pane.
