I'm using a gmail account in Thunderbird. When I send a message, a new mail notification appears (sound and system try icon), an unread message appears in the gmail All Mail folder, and the account name turns blue.

I have to click on "Sent Mail" or "All Mail" to get rid of the notification. Unsubscribing from "All Mail" is not effective (it still turns the account name blue).

This seems to be popping up elsewhere (example), but nobody has posted a helpful answer.

How do I keep Thunderbird from thinking that a sent message is new unread mail in the All Mail folder?
