Dear everybody,

I have been experiencing a peculiar problem with Dekko. I don't know when
exactly it started but it happens quite frequently.

Currently, according to Dekko, there are 30 unread emails in my Gmail account as
indicated by the 30 next to the word "INBOX" after selecting the Gmail account.
However, any other mail client I tried (alpine, gmail.com, thunderbird) show the
correct number of 0 unread emails. A pull-to-refresh does not help. I have to
use Dekko to mark them as read to reduce the unread count and "un-bold" the
text. Please note that this never happened with any other IMAP account (I
currently use 3 other ones).

If you like, I can file a bug on launchpad, I just wanted to ask whether the
developers are aware of it or anybody else experiences something similar. Maybe
it's a bug in Gmail?

Cheers,
Torsten
