[Bug 914991]

 

Running SeaMonkey 2.7b4
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:10.0) Gecko/20120119 Firefox/10.0 SeaMonkey/2.7

Two strange things so far.  When I initially started 2.7b4, my third
news account, changed its name from the former value of
news.individual.net (or just "individual.net") to
rbg_sm+graysmail.comIndividual.netrbg_sm+graysmail.com.  That's pretty
ugly.  Haven't tried to edit it back yet.

I went through the account server settings and re-enabled check at
startup and periodic checking.  When I did a Get Msgs on Individual.net,
went trough yet another round of user/password prompting and then all
messages were new again.  It could very well be that I fell victim to
the phasing and supplied the wrong info for the wrong account.  I'm
pretty sure I entered incorrect info for Individual.net and got re-
prompted, so I may very well have precipitated the unread event.
Otherwise, so far so good...

Title:
  Thunderbird sometimes marks whole newsgroups as read

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Fix Released
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was tracking the upstream bug report #695309 for this issue, which
  has affected Thunderbird 8.0, the version in Oneiric. The problem has
  just been patched upstream in trunk and will make it into Thunderbird
  12 when that releases (in May, presumably too late for Precise). I
  filed this bug report to make sure that the change gets noticed and
  backported to Oneiric post-haste, as it's a pretty major usability
  failing and there was no bug on LP that was tracking this upstream bug
  that I could find.
