this is a client behaviour : by default the client only check for new message in the inbox folder. But you can tell him to check new message in the other folders :
in thunderbird, display the properties of the folder "folder1" (right clic - properties), and activate "Check this folder for new messages"

Hi,
I am having some trouble with unread / new message flags. As I have not found something in the mailing list archives or the Cyrus IMAP Wiki, I thought it best to ask here.
Here's an example mailbox setup for user "john":
user.john (\HasChildren) user.john.Drafts (\HasNoChildren) user.john.Sent (\HasNoChildren) user.john.Trash (\HasNoChildren) user.john.folder1 (\HasNoChildren) user.john.folder2 (\HasNoChildren)
I'm using a Sieve script to file incoming mail into folders:
if header :contains "List-Id" "foo-list" { fileinto "INBOX.folder1"; } elsif header :contains "List-Id" "bar-list" { fileinto "INBOX.folder2"; }
Cyrus IMAP files e-mail into the folders I specified, but the IMAP clients do not show an indicator for new/unread messages in the folders until the user manually selects the folder. I've tried this using Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 and Mulberry 3.x, the results are the same. If no Sieve rule matches and the message is thus, by an implicit "keep" action, filed in the INBOX (user.john), unread indicators are displayed without prior user interaction.
Is this behaviour caused by Cyrus IMAP / Sieve or by the clients? What can I do to have the "there are {n} new messages in this folder" indicators be displayed automatically?
