I'm not asking that either of these two issues in the operation of
the new message icon be fixed, I just wanted to mention them in case
they would be encountered by someone else.
My experience overlaps with yours somewhat.
Let me begin by saying that I have SM set to automatically check all
mail and newsgroup accounts for new messages every 10 minutes and
download any it finds.
For mail accounts, if the account is collapsed (no folders showing), I
get the green down arrow when a new message comes in. However, after
some time (I haven't really investigated how long or under what
conditions), the arrow disappears even though I haven't expanded the
account to read new messages. When I do get around to expanding it,
folders with unread messages are bolded as expected, with an accurate
count to the right of the folder name.
Paul, could I suggest that if you have SM set-up to check for new
messages
every ten minutes, after one check, there might be new messages so your
green arrows appears. Ten minutes later, it goes and checks again and
if it
finds more new messages, so the green arrow stays, but if there are no
new
messages (in that last ten minutes), the green arrow disappears, even
though
there may still be new, unread messages from the previous check!!
I don't think it works that way. I have seen groups show the new
message icon when the new message came in some hours ago and none
since. It wouldn't be much of an indicator if it only lasted until the
next time it checked messages.
Ah!! Well, I gave my suggestion!
