Package: icedove
Version: 10.0.12-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
For the last several months new messages aren't showing up nor is the folder
they
are in being higlighted.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I thought initially it might have something to do with the large number of
messages I have stored, so I archived messages for prior years. This did not
fix the
problem. The folders still aren't showing the presence of unread messages. It
appears
that the index file for the folder is missing or corrupt and needs to be
rebuilt. It starts rebuilding when I click on the folder. Compacting the folder
doesn't help.
* What was the outcome of this action?
When I click on a folder with new messages, the index rebuilds and the messages
finally show up with the folder being highlighted to indicate the presence of
unread messages.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The folder should show the presence of unread messages without me going into it
to check for them.
This is a fairly new behaviour. It only started this year. I've been using
Icedove
and previous Mozilla mail products for decades without this issue. I do have
more
than a dozen mail accounts that Icedove is managing. The four main ones have
dozens
of filters to sort the mail so that most mail shows up in subfolders within the
inbox. I rely on the folders being bolded to notify me of the presence of new
messages.

using a CIFS network folder for HOME directories or subfolders in there
isn't really a common usage. We wont doing anything here. I will close
these reports. If you want that feature at least please open a request
in the bugtracker of Mozilla.
