When Mozilla is receiving mail on multiple pop3 accounts, the message on the
status bar (saying "Receiving message X of Y") flicks between the accounts
displaying only the status of the last account.
For me, recieving messages from 6 pop accounts renders the current status
message almost useless.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up multiple pop3 accounts under mail.
2. Make sure all of these accounts have varying numbers of mail in them.
3. Press the "Get Msgs" button
4. Watch the status bar on the bottom of the mail window
Actual Results:
The message on the status bar (saying "Receiving message X of Y") flicks between
the accounts displaying only the status of the last account.
Expected Results:
It would be more sensible to display totals for all accounts in this message.
Or perhaps, as an alternative, multiple status messages could displayed across
the status line (not quite so tidy, but possibly easier to implement)

This bug prescribes a different solution to the same problem discussed in bug 66860.

I don't think this is a dupe of bug 66860. The description here specifically implies that solution of bug 66860 (just adding account name to the status bar) does not solve this bug (flickering different messages).
