[Bug 891639] Re: New email count in top bar and on Thunderbird Unity icon is not updated when mail status changes

 

I parrtially have the same problem. The mail count usually does upgrade
correct, but during the day the counter is stuck at a certain lower
limit of 'unread emails'. When I receive a new email, it will count up,
and when I read it, it counts down again, but it doesn't go below the
limit (usually reaches 4-5 mails during the day). It can be influenced
by mails caught by filters and marked as unread when received, but I
cannot confirm this.

Title:
  New email count in top bar and on Thunderbird Unity icon is not
  updated when mail status changes

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When the entry for the new mail (there may be multiple entries per
  each mail folder with new email) is clicked, then Thunderbird is
  opened with that folder. In that moment, both the Unity Thunderbird
  icon overlay and the top bar entry are updated to the actual count of
  new emails. However, when I just use Thunderbird to read email, the
  icon overlay and top bar are not updated. They always reflect the
  number of new mails since either the start of the session, or since I
  last clicked the top bar menu entry.
