mail-notification doesn't handle Thunderbird Inbox correctly
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:45 EST
Description of problem: mail-notification doesn't handle Thunderbird Inbox correctly. It only detects if the Inbox has mail or if it is empty after a "Compact" operation. Thunderbird leaves mail "in place" after it is read but changes the status: Fresh mail has status: X-Mozilla-Status: 0000 Read mail has status: X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 And deleted mail has status: X-Mozilla-Status: 0009 Mail-notification will not clear its status until a Thunderbird "Compact" operation has been performed and the Inbox is reset to zero bytes. Also, detected spam filtered to a Junk folder is "left" in the Inbox until "Compacted", but I don't have the Mozilla Status code for that. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mail-notification-3.0-3.fc5 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup mail-notification to "watch" Thunderbird inbox /home/dmobrien/.thunderbird/wpl6yglf.Dan O'Brien/Mail/Local Folders/Inbox 2. Send mail 3. Mail-notification icon flags new mail 4. Read mail 5. Mail is still flagged 6. Delete mail 7. Mail is still flagged 8. Compact Inbox 9. Mail is no longer flagged Actual results: See above. Expected results: See above. Additional info:
This is most likely not Fedora specific. Please report it directly to the upstream maintainer (see http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/ http://lefort.be.eu.org/ ) so it get's fixed there once properly and for all distributions/users; Fedora Extras will then integrate the new version when it's available. tia!
