Right now I have 227 unread/unscanned messages in SPAM folders 128 in Deleted Items 3 in Drafts 68 in a folder I filter a mailing list to. 10 in my Inbox
Displaying the sum of those counts in my launcher icon is not useful. Being told there is 10 in my Inbox would be useful. -- 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/856642 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.
