Description: Update Message Count for Folders (This may or may not be a feature in mail5)

.	Update Message Count for this kind of folder	Notes	Expected Outcome (if not obvious)
1	top-level folder	.	.
2	subfolder in middle of hierarchy	.	.
3	subfolder at bottom of hierarchy (at least third level)	.	.
4	hierarchy all at once (with hierarchy separator)	.	.
5	many nested folders (20-30 deep)	.	.
6	container (NoSelect) folder (using the New Folder dialog box option that appears on Mac and Win when the mail server preference "doesn't support dual-use folders" is checked).	IMAP only. Only relevant in server environments that do not support dual-use folders (e.g., SIMS; UW using Unix mbox message storage type. Messaging Server does support both types). To create a container folder on Unix, create a hierarchy all at once, e.g., "folder1/folder2". Folder1 will be NoSelect.	Not relevant to this type of folder, so the item should probably be grayed out.
7	message-only folder (using the New Folder dialog box option that appears on Mac and Win when the mail server preference "doesn't support dual-use folders" is checked).	IMAP only. Only relevant in server environments that do not support dual-use folders (e.g., SIMS; UW using Unix mbox message storage type. Messaging Server does support both types). To create a messages-only folder on Unix, create a hierarchy all at once, e.g., "folder1/folder2". Folder2 will be messages only.	.
8	Dual-use folder.	IMAP only. Only relevant in server environments that support dual-use folders, like Messaging Server 4.0. To create a dual use folder, uncheck the preference "doesn't support dual-use folders" and use the standard New Folder dialog box.	.
11	folders with unusual ascii characters	.	.
12	IMAP folder	.	.
13	subfolder of Inbox	Only allowed for local inboxes and on some servers (e.g., Cyrus).	.
14	POP (local) folder	.	.
15	movemail folder	.	.
16	sent folder	Automatic creation tested under special folders test plan.	.
17	drafts folder	Automatic creation tested under special folders test plan.	.
18	templates folder	Automatic creation tested under special folders test plan.	.
19	subfolder of sent	.	.
20	subfolder of drafts	.	.
21	subfolder of templates	.	.
22	subfolder of trash (imap delete model)	Delete models may change in 5.0.	.
23	subfolder of trash (move-to-trash delete model)	.	.
24	subfolder of trash (really delete model)	.	.

	Perform these additional tasks	Notes	Expected Outcome (if not obvious)
1	Update message count when there are 0 messages in a folder	.	.
2	Update message count when there are thousands of messages in a folder	.	.
3	Select multiple, contiguous folders and update message count	.	.
4	Select multiple, noncontiguous folders and update message count	.	.
5	Try whatever different access methods are allowed by the UI.	.	.
