[SM 2 - OSX Tiger] Sound for new messages doesn't work and wrong counter

[Gabriele]

Hello,

I always set SM to "chime" when new messages arrive, and it works 90% of
times in SM 1.x; in SM 2.0 it never works.
Odd is I hear the sound when I'm viewing the message source (command-U) and
want copy the text after selecting it all! I hear the chime when I
"command-C" on the keyboard.

BTW, the message counter in the dock is wrong, it keeps showing old unread
messages as if they were new.

Yes, I've noticed the lack of the new message sound in SM2 as well,
although I hear it for certain events in the browser and ChatZilla.
I'm currently running Snow Leopard, so there must be a regression
somewhere. Dock doesn't animate either.

I'm not sure of this.

It now shows total unread messages instead of new messages. This is
a bad mistake in my mind because if one does not immediately read all
messages, the dock badge quickly becomes useless. Moved my wife over
to SM2 this evening - she has more than 900 unread messages...

I have not had a chance to look for or file bugs on either of these.
