The icon in the launcher does not show the right number of unread emails, too.
What I found dis this: Precondition: There are no unread emails. The icon does not show a number at all. Everything is ok. 1) Some (say 3) emails arrive. The icon shows the correct number of unread emails (3). 2) I read 2 of them and let the last email being unread. The icon still shows that there are 3 unread emails which is wrong. 3a) When I read the last unread email the icon does not show a number at all. Everything is ok again. 3b) When another email arrives the icon shows the correct number of unread emails (2). 3c) When I read all emails but decide to set one email to the status "unread" the icon shows no number at all which is wrong. It seems to me that there are 2 triggers to update the number of unread emails: * new email arrives * last unread email is read and it misses the trigger: * some email is read or set to unread In addition it does not really count the number of email having status "unread" but it only considers e-mails since the last update. I can reproduce the last fact quite easily because I use the "unread" status of an e-mail not to mean that I did not read it but as a reminder that I should take action upon it at some time. So emails do not get the "read" status when I read them but only when I set them "unread" manually. This means I have 28 "unread" emails right now but the icon does not show a number as I "read" the last emails that arrived. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850229 Title: Unread email count in thunderbird shown wrongly in messaging menu and launcher icon Status in Messaging Menu Thunderbird Extension: Fix Released Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “thunderbird” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Bug description: The number of unread emails is shown incorrectly in the messaging menu and unity launcher icon of thunderbird though thunderbird application shows the correct count.
