[Bug 872147] Re: thunderbird launcher icon message notification does not change when messages are read

 

The thing is that when using Thunderbird with Gmail on IMAP, a message
appear as new in differents folders.

As thunderbird display notification for new messages in all folder, the
counter is waiting that we reload each folder before to reload the
counter.

This is quite annoying.
It could be quite good to be able to select the folder to follow. For me only the inbox would be good but I can understand that for some people with automatic gmail filters it could be better as now.

Title:
  thunderbird launcher icon message notification does not change when
  messages are read

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The number of messages waiting is displayed in the thunderbird icon in
  my unity launcher, which is great. Normally, as I read the messages,
  this number decrements and then it disappears once they have all been
  read.

  However, if there are messages waiting when I first launch
  thunderbird, the number displayed in the icon remains fixed as I read
  them, until new messages arrive.

  Is this perhaps a dbus or unity issue instead? The same thing seems to
  be true for the number of events awaiting attention in skype - if
  there are events when I launch it, viewing the events doesn't reset
  the counter.
