Notifications often occur when selecting a folder in Thunderbird containing unread mail

[Steven Flintham]

I often (I am not sure it always happens, it is hard to be sure) get libnotify popups when I select a folder (e.g. the folder I filter my spam into) which contains unread mail, regardless of when that mail arrived. (I don't get notifications when mail arrives in these folders, which is probably correct and certainly not a problem.)

I am using Thunderbird 3.0.6 and libnotifypopups 0.2.1 on Ubuntu 10.04. My mail is accessed via IMAP; I have a Dovecot server running on the same machine and mail is delivered into Dovecot using mbsync

If you need any more information please let me know.

Thank you for your bug report. I have made some changes to the code and I believe this should be fixed now. Could you please test with the latest version from trunk? Open a terminal, install bazaar if
needed (sudo apt-get install bzr) and type bzr branch lp:libnotify-
mozilla to get the new version. Now run the build.sh file and a .xpi
should be created which you can install in Thunderbird. Thanks in
advance!

Thank you for getting back so quickly! I have been using the new version for the last five or ten minutes and (after I realised the first install had quietly failed to replace the old version; I then explicitly uninstalled first) it appears to be working splendidly. If it's OK with you I will continue to test it for the next few days and report back, but I wanted to give you some initial feedback ASAP.

Cheers.

This seems to be working great, thanks.
