Count new messages in all folders

[peguca]

Folder list don't count new messages in all folders, just on INBOX.

I have mail rules that send messages to a specified folder and when I receive new messages on that folder the folder list seems to "Not see" the messages.

While on the INBOX folder usually appear the number of new messages, on all other folders it seems that not happens the same, seems like that this process is not automatic our simply doesn't work.

Those values are cached because of performance issues. You can turn off caching and try if it then shows the right message count.

Thunderbird does not update the unread count correctly unless I specify that this specific mailbox needs to be checked for new messages.

Maybe we should configure the list of mailboxes that need to be updated like INBOX.

thomasb, probably if in the folder settings we had an option "check for new messages" with a bool option to set what folder should RC check for new messages this could be solved in a "short code period" and maybe included in rc1 our SVN versions after the may 18th release.

As default just INBOX should be checked in order to maintain the structure that is available nowadays and this stuff added as optional arguments.

Has this got anywhere? It's a feature I'd really appreciate

Marked ticket #1484497 as a duplicate of this.

Not true, see the mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new setting (about:config), if you set that all mailboxes will be checked for new messages.

Are there plans to build in that feature? If yes: In which version would it be into the source? I'm using current SVN and don't have it.

The solution mentioned in commment 1 is not working. All my subfolders are not updated after calling the page. The only folder which got updates is the INBOX itself.

This is very needed feature. Does anybody knows if there any patch that implement this thing?
Does this feature exist in trunk?
