Bug Description

I am using 9.10 rc, and I noticed that the indicator applet now shows a list of all my email accounts in evolution. Is the number in parenthesis to the right of each email address supposed to show the number of unread? Because for me there is always a zero next to every email address, even when I have unread messages.

No, it is supposed to show the number unviewed. So when evolution is
running behind other applications and downloads e-mail while you're
doing something else, then that number will increment. For many people
unread isn't useful as the number is always very high :) Thanks!

Well, it doesn't seem to do that for me either. When I amusing a different program and a "New Message" notification pops up, shouldn't that increment the number of unviewed? For me it doesn't.

Hmm, that's probably a different issue then. Please look for a similar
bug or file one under the evolution-indicator.

im affected by this bug too

evolution fetches emails from gmail via pop, shows a toaster notification for unread emails but notification-applet does not show any indication nor lists the correct number of unread messages (instead always 0).

I also tried to reset my evolution settings by deleting ~/.evolution and ~/.gconf/apps/evolution and logging out and in again.
But that did not change anything. As soon as i reconfigured my email accounts in the now fresh evolution i have exactly the same buggy behaviour as before.

I've changed the status back to New as this is definitely a bug. Further to comment #2, the indicator applet always shows zero even when unviewed emails exist in Evolution.

OK, this is actually a duplicate of bug #436755 and possibly bug #378986.
