Bug Description

Just the subj. It doesn't matter if I choose to show only inbox folder or not in the settings.
I think it should be made configurable to opt Junk folder out.

Also, it isn't enough to simply mark such junk messages as "read" to reset the icon; you need to restart Thunderbird to make the icon go inactive again (assuming no new messages arrived).

Sometimes the tray icon isn't colored for new legitimate mail (i.e. not junk). This has already caused me to miss the arrival of a few urgent emails :(
