No message count displayed if sent messages are set to be stored in Inbox

When I change it back to Sent folder and restart Thunderbird, it works as expected.

Hi, could you provide further details: which provider ? have you configured an IMAP prefix in TB (Server settings > Advanced > IMAP folder) ?

[rozwell]

I'm using pop (gmail) - I like to keep all messages on the server as backup. From what I've checked, the same thing happened with two different providers but I can check whatever you like ;)

Hi @rozwell, I would really recommend IMAP over POP as it is a more advanced protocol and you can keep messages on the server too, read them offline, ... Could you provide steps to reproduce the error ? How should I configure the account exactly ?

[rozwell]

Hello @foudfou, that's interesting, AFAIR IMAP was removing messages from server when I removed it locally. That's why I used pop since it was safer to make sure emails are backed up. I'll try to give you specific configuration this week, feel free to poke me if I don't.

I could reproduce this problem: I'm using IMAP and have configured Thunderbird to store my sent mail in my INBOX. With the FireTray default configuration the display of unread messages is not working. It is working if I either change the storeage location of my snt mail to another folder or if I select the "SentMail" folder in the "Included special folders" list ( in the configuration dialog).

Can't reproduce the problem. I tried with IMAP, putting a SentMail folder under INBOX, setting it as Place a copy in, with and without [Gmail] IMAP server directory (in Server Settings > Advanced. Nothing helped. I'd need further details to reproduce the problem. Any chance you could build a virtual machine illustrating the problem ?
