User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031017 Firebird/0.7+ (aebrahim) Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.3 (20031013) When an account is collapsed, there should be some kind of indication if that account has new mail. Possibly a change in font, or the number of new messages inside in parentheses. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Keep an account collapsed. 2. Get new mail. Actual Results: No indicator (other than the tray notification) that there are new messages. Expected Results: Something should happen to alert the user that there is new mail waiting in the collapsed folder. This is especially useful for users with many mail accounts.
Normally, there is such a notification: a small green arrow (flag) appears on the icon next to the account name. (May be missing in some themes, I suppose.) There are cases where the flag is suppressed or mistaken; the feature from bug 189289 (in current Moz1.6 builds) suppresses the flag for junk mail; when mail is filtered from one account to another, the target account does not get the flag (bug 202783). Greg Campbell, if you have another specific case where the flag is not appearing, please detail it here.
This must be a thunderbird-only issue. Product -> Thunderbird
Product: MailNews → Thunderbird
Version: Trunk → unspecified
I think I figured out the problem. The little green arrow only appears the first time there is new mail in an account. When you close and restart the application, the green arrow disappears, even though there is still new mail. The green arrow really should stay there until there is no more unread mail.
I can confirm this on 'Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 (20031206)'. THis bug should be moved to confirmed. BTW comment #3 describes the real bug.
changing summary.
Summary: collapsed account should indicate new messages → new message indicator should persist across sessions
This should also be moved to mail/news because it appears in 1.6b
yep. back to MailNews.

Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.
