Notification bugs
== Notification bugs ==
 
I don't know how much of the notification stuff is Core -- the Notification category in Bugzilla is listed under the Suite product, but these problems are all present in TB 1.0. Maybe the 'new items in account' and 'new items in folder' indications are going to change drastically as the filesystem converts to a database and all the folders become virtual, so these may be moot...
 
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116181 Bug 116181] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222068 Bug 222068]: The 'New' indicator on each mail account, and the system tray icon, do not automatically clear as expected during (after) reading messages that were filtered to a different account. Each account's 'New' indicator will only clear after some activity ''within'' the account, even all the new messages were filtered elsewhere. The tray icon will only clear when one account has its 'New' indicator cleared.
 
Those two bugs lead directly to this one:
 
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210148 Bug 210148]: I want to get further notifications (slide-up and audible alert and, if necessary, a new tray icon) even when a previous notification has not been entirely cleared. This is filed as an enhancement (see the bug for a pointer to why), but there is a UI glitch associated with this as well: the tray icon will clear immediately upon reading the mail in one account, but if new mail has arrived in two accounts and only one has been read, subsequent new mail (via biff) will not trigger another notification
 
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138095 Bug 138095] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209752 Bug 209752]: The tooltip on the tray icon does not update as new mail arrives; only the count of the initial fetch for each account is shown, and if more than two accounts receive mail, not all accounts are shown in the tooltip.
