Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Hi,
Long time devotee of Thunderbird.
I just switched to Ubuntu 8.04 from Vista/SP1.
Now that I've switched to Ubuntu, I've noticed that the little
red/orange asterisks that appear over the "Inbox" icon and the "Local
Folders" icon (indicating new unread messages have arrived) don't go
away when messages are read.
The asterisks beside the actual messages disappear when the listing goes
from bold to normal, but the asterisks still remain on the Inbox icon
and the Local Folders icon.
When I click on a different folder from the Inbox, such as "Sent" or
"Trash", the "Inbox" and "Local Folders" icons lose their asterisks and
the bold returns to normal.
So basically instead of just checking all my messages and closing
thunderbird, I have to check all my messages then click on a non-inbox
folder then back on the inbox just to verify I haven't missed anything.
It's not a huge deal but I shouldn't have to do it ;) And it is
technically a bug so I can imagine I'm not the only one experiencing
this.
All the best and kind regards,
Scott Johnstone
