See attached drawing with the suggested location of the new indicator (the "(239)" in red beside label of the top of the folder tree). Also, for each folder containing sub-folders with new emails should indicate the summarized number of unread mails in its underlying folder hierarchy. Similar to closed Mozilla Bug #235956 which is listed as closed/fixed but that feature doesn’t appear to be present in current version.

That adds a Total column to the Folder Pane. The user may have to adjust column width. It is in Thunderbird 52.x.x and 60.0.

Do you have any folders that have subfolders that have unread emails in those subfolders? In your picture, would that be "Verison" folder that has the "heart" symbol and the number 1? That's what I also get on my Ubuntu 18.04, TB 52.9.1. The user is in a different language (German, I think) - does that make a difference? And he does not get the number with the "heart" symbol beside the top folder of a collapsed set of subfolders. See attached original screen print from user ( I will attach it next).

If the folder is collapsed then counts are made visible Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/379015/comments/24 ** Changed in: thunderbird Status: Unknown => New ** Changed in: thunderbird Importance: Unknown => Medium -- 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 Mozilla Thunderbird: New 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.
