[Bug 865232] [NEW] Thunderbird shows a higher number of messages in the notification "You have xxxx new messages" instead of the number of new mails

 

Public bug reported:

There are 1359 messages in my imap inbox. It is the only Account. My
Inbox has 4 Subfolders. I have 2 unread messages in my inbox.

When I receive a new mail, a unity notification appears that says that i
have 1315 new messages although i have now only 3 unread messages in my
inbox.

The paradox: When I let the mail unreaded and get another new mail (#4)
it reports about 1315 new messages again (not 1316 as expected).

I don't know where the number of 1315 comes from. But I think it could
be different from case to case.

Thunderbird-Version: 7.0.1 (latest version in oneiric at the moment)

I hope this report helps.
