Description Roshan George 2009-06-18 12:09:12 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I have a folder which mail from a mailing list is sent to. At times, the sidebar will display the folder in bold with an unread count of 1 in brackets even though there are no unread messages in that folder. This continues even if I set it to show only unread mail. The number at the top of the sidebar is correctly displayed. Only the folder is displayed wrong.

Occasionally I can make it display the right number by marking a message in the folder 'unread' and then marking it 'read' again.

I have attached a screenshot showing the problem.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Receive mail from POP account.
2. Read every email by going through it one by one until I reach the end.



Actual results:
Folder in sidebar's tree shows wrong unread count. This is always 1 when it should be 0, it is never a higher number.

Expected results:
Folder in sidebar tree should show 0 unread and not be bold.

Does this happen every time?
No, it happens some times, but I have been unable to reliably reproduce it.

A screenshot describing the problem.

I have since rearranged the folders so that they are children of the Inbox folder but the problem still persists.

In either case, "Mark Messages As Read" doesn't help.
