Correction. About 5 minutes after posting that I'm using 2.0.0.14, I got a little update notification in my tray, telling me that a thunderbird update was available. I applied the update and now I'm using 2.0.0.16 :)
So I sent myself a test e-mail and sure enough, same results. The red asterisk cleared from the email when I clicked on it, but the red asterisk on Inbox and Local Folders remained. Another interesting detail: This time instead of clicking "sent" or "trash" to clear the Inbox asterisk, I clicked on Local Folders (the parent folder for Inbox). When I did, the red asterisk on Inbox remained but it cleared from Local Folders. Then I clicked on "sent" - asterisk still present on Inbox. Clicked on Inbox, then back on "sent" and the asterisk went away from the Inbox icon. So, it seems the behavior is different when I click the parent folder than it is when I click on a sibling folder like Sent or Trash. In any case, the bug is still present in 2.0.0.16 -- 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
