   I read again (and *carefully*) your message, and I think
that this
style will better fit your needs:

  -(Cut)-
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol,
biffState-NewMail,
isServer-true)
{
font-weight: bold !important;
color: red !important;
}

treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(newMessages-true)
{
font-weight: bold !important;
color: red !important;
}
  -(Cut)-

   The first part will change colour of account names with new
messages,
the second part will change colour of the names of each folder
with new
unread messages...



Why "An intriguing success" as Subject line?
I'm glad you asked .
I use two USENET servers, news.supernews.com and
news.mozilla.org, with the similar settings.
There is something odd going on - The bright red for fresh unread
messages makes it easier to spot.
On news.mozilla.org more often than on news.supernews.com, for
folders with a combination of existing unread messages and fresh
unread messages:
   1. as each unread message (be it existing or fresh) has it
"read flag" marked,
  the unread message count decreases as expected.
  2A. for most folders with Petr's code, the folder color goes
from red to black
  as the last fresh unread message is marked as read. It then
goes from bold
  to normal as the last unread message is marked as read.
  The desired/predicted action
  2B. for other folders the change
  1. from "red to black" does not occur until another folder
is chosen.
  2. from "bold to normal" does not occur until another
folder is chosen.

The red makes what I've thought I've been seeing more obvious.
I don't yet have enough firm data to reach any firm conclusions.
Tonight I intend to mark all folders to be repaired - it'll take
a while.


Just now there
  1.  were fresh unread messages on mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird and
  mozilla.support.thunderbird. The folder did not go red.
  2.  was a fresh unread message on mozilla.support.seamonkey, to
  which this replies. The folder was "*BOLD* and *RED*" 
until I read it.
  It then correctly changed to "*BOLD* and *BLACK* as there 
remain old

  unread messages in the folder.
