Retraction - the problem hasn't gone away. It seems it's just intermittent now.
What seems to be the case is that if I have new unread messages that have been filtered into side-folders at the same tree level as the Inbox folder, the asterisks remain on the Inbox folder even after all unread messages have been read and their bold text style has been stripped to normal. If I ONLY have new unread messages in my Inbox folder, then the asterisk clears from the Inbox icon as soon as it clears from the message listing in the pane on the right. (Likewise for any other folder - the bug only seems to be present when there are new unread messages in multiple folders) Hope this helps to debug! -- Thunderbird's New Mail notification asterisks don't clear right away https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
