From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 BuildID: 2002053012 I have message rules to move mail from my various POP3 accounts into different local folders on arrival. When new mail arrives, the yellow ! icon appears in the iconbar (correctly). However when I read the new mail the ! does not disappear until I click on the Inbox folder for the account from which the mail arrived. More intuitive behaviour would be to disappear once any unread message is read - since the user has clearly been alerted to the existence of unread mail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up message rule to move new messages from an account to local folder. 2. Send email to account. 3. Read new email. Actual Results: Note ! icon still on taskbar. Expected Results: ! icon should have disappeared after reading new email.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 116181 ***

Fair enough. Perhaps the summary of 116181 could be made clearer - it makes no reference to ! icons or indeed filters, so without reading the full description there was no way of knowing this was a duplicate.

Geoff, the yellow yield sign you see with the exclamation point is an anamoly - that's bug 134745. Ask in bug 116181 if you want that summary updated. Thanks.

Hey, no skin off my nose. The suggestion was to save your time as administrators from picking up new bugs. If you don't mind the dupe bugs, you don't change the summaries to something sensible and people will keep posting the same bugs over and over. If you've got the time to waste, good luck to you. Thanks for the note about the ! sign - as it happened I'd never used the mailnews before and just assumed that was normal (looks fine here). :)
