[Bug 856642] Re: launcher icon shows wrong number of new messages
> It's not meant to show unread messages - but new messages - as per the
spec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu#Recommended_behavior_for_e-
mail_clients
> "For the purpose of the messaging menu, a new message is an unread
message that the program discovered since the last time you (a)
performed any action in that mailbox or (b) selected the corresponding
item in the messaging menu."
> So, navigating to a folder will mean that folder has no new messages
anymore, and this is independent of unread messages.
Is there a way to change this? This is not desirable at all. I don't
need a count that includes the stuff I've filtered into other IMAP
folders to read "someday". Also, I run spam filtering on another
machine. My icon count goes up for every spam.

Title:
launcher icon shows wrong number of new messages
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The thunderbird launcher icon shows a seemingly-arbitrary number of
unread messages. My inbox currently has 7 unread messages, and I have
at least 500 unread messages in other folders according to the
thunderbird UI. However the launcher icon currently shows there are 42
unread messages. The number in the launcher icon does fluctuate, and
it usually decrements when I read a message. It's never been correct
about the number of unread messages, though.
The Mail indicator in the panel also has a list of folders with unread
messages, and a count of the number of unread messages in each of
those folders. The unread counts in the indicator's listing are also
inaccurate, and the sum of the unread messages in the indicator does
not match the number of unread messages in the launcher icon.
Thunderbird is configured for a pair of IMAP accounts. Each account
has a number of folders and subfolders.
