In response to Curtis Maloney you've wrote:

TB gets the messages, but it does not get the new-messages notice,
because another client has the same mailbox selected. Once you click in
TB on the folder, TB's view of the mailbox is sync'ed with the content
of the mailbox on the server.

In my mind, you have two solutions:

a) use shared mailboxes with per-user "SEEN" flag

b) force TB to sync all the folders now and then.
I do this with the "offline" settings. Dunno if you can automate
this feature.
