For me, the "send filter" add-on is no more related to this topic. What I described is just the normal behaviour of the current Thunderbird. And in this case, I'ld appreciate any folder to indicate the number of unread mails in the hierarchy below.
Usually I'ld call it a "feature request" or an "enhancement". Whether it is a bug, issue or error (whatever it is named) depends on the specification of the feature "display number of unread mails behind the folder name". -- 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 thunderbird package in Ubuntu: New 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.
