[Bug 886308] [NEW] Thunderbird applet shows unviewed EMails after viewing them

[Chascon]

Public bug reported:

Problem: Thunderbird applet shows EMails as unviewed after viewing all
new EMails from inside TB.

Comment & summary
Communication is one way, from applet to Thunderbird. It should be bidirectional, so as to not have to always go through the applet to keep the applet status up to date.


Steps to reproduce
1. Click on the Thunderbird applet indicating new EMail
2. Thunderbird on the dock animates itself
3. Press on the Thunderbird dock alias
4. You're taken to TB and automatically view the EMail previously clicked on in the applet
5. Within TB, you view __other__ new messages, ones you haven't clicked on from within the applet


Expected results
TB applet should be aware of all the new EMails regardless of where (in what app/client or applet) you click.
