[Bug 848774] Re: Icon does not show right amount of unread email

[Chris Coulson]

Hi,

The count doesn't display unread messages, but rather "new" messages,
which is the same as the messaging indicator. A message is only
considered new if it was delivered since you last navigated in a
particular message folder.

If the count on the launcher is the sum of the counts in the messaging
menu, then it's working as intended.

We don't display unread count because it generally isn't interesting for
most people, and results in the launcher showing a permanent count until
you have zero unread e-mail
