Thanks for the feedback, Christoph. How about this...? Summary of bug: Thunderbird enhancement suggestion by Christoph: When you have a directory tree/heirarchy of mail subfolders, give the top of the directory tree an indicator of how many unread messages are in any of the subfolders. See attached drawing with the suggested location of the new indicator (the "(239)" in red beside label of the top of the folder tree).
** Attachment added: "Revised suggested location of new indicator (in red)at top of message tree" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/379015/+attachment/5158112/+files/thunderbird-folder_unread_indicator.odg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379015 Title: Asterisk showing new messages is not shown at topmost level Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird I use filters to put new received and sent mails (the latter with support of "Send Filter 1.0") into folders. If the destination folder is somewhat deeper in the folder hierarchy this folder alone shows the asterisk and the number in braces indicating that new messages have arrived. Well, if the folder structure is collapsed, the highest visible folder indicates unread mails by beeing formatted bold. But in this case this folder doesn't show the asterisk nor the numbers of unread mails. It would be much more helpful to "inherit" (or should I say "reverse inherit"?) both of these information ("new mail(s)" and "number of unread mails") to the folder that is visible on top of the hierarchy containing new or unread mails, even if the hierarchy is fully or partially expanded.
