[Bug 937413] [NEW] On Gmail, the "Important"-folder is still marked unread with no unread messages

[Jo-Erlend Schinstad]

Public bug reported:

I use GMail with Thunderbird. They've added a folder called "Important".
It's seriously annoying, because nearly nothing in it is particularly
important to me and messages are duplicated.

But enough ranting. When I read the last unread message in the
"Important" folder, it is still marked as unread until I right click it
and select "Mark folder as read". This means that Thunderbirds status on
the launcher will still display unread messages even when there are
none, and that the indicator will still be blue.

Small, but fairly disrupting and therefore annoying, bug.
