(Whiteboard: can't verify until bug 7002 is fixed.)
Expanding the folder list (the 1st time) does not update count totals - no .msf
files generated
Tested on 19990-05-17 builds on all platforms
1) Remove all .msf files (to simulate first time Seamonkey mail user).
Prefs50.js file has the appropriate mail preferences.
2) Start apprunner
3) Select Tasks | Messenger
4) Mail window appears. Double click to expand the mail server / list of
folders
5) Mail folders are listed, but the counts for unread and total remain at 0.
This is probably because the .msf files are not generated until I select a
folder and then the .msf file is generated for that folder.

I don't expect the counts to be right in this scenario; I don't think they were
right in 4.x under the same conditions. I think in the old world we showed
question marks, and it might be nice to do that here, if we can.
Reassigning to putterman.

This is a side effect of the change waterson recently made. I'll take it any
day over having all of my folders read in at once. I'll look into making sure
question marks appear. And of course, I think the magical summary.dat might
help out eventually, but that's for another milestone.

I have a temporary fix for this I'll check in tomorrow. Before a .msf file is
loaded, it will display ???. Then when a folder is selected, the real count
will occur. A side effect of this is that servers will display ???, but I don't
have any way around that at the moment.

I checked this in. It'll now show "???" when the message counts are unknown.
In the current builds, the message count still shows 0. I think this is due to
bug 7002. Will wait until that bug is fixed before I verify this specific case.
This is basically working with the ??? showing up, but there are some minor
problems which I'll log separately.
Verified Win32 6/16 build.
Verified Mac 6/16 build.
Verified Linux 6/16 build.
