Gmail applet not showing number of new mail

[pt123]

Over the last two weeks applet doesn't visually show the number of new mail, even though it will display the new mail using notification bubbles.

Using v2.07 on 10.10

no it's not a duplicate of that bug, as the application can still read the new mail it JUST NOT UPDATING the icon to indicate the NUMBER of new mail.

Ok sorry. Then it is invalid, because you need to update. Version 2.0.13 is released already.

I upgraded to 2.0.14 version, if I mark an email as unread and then click on check mail it doesn't register that as new email.

Also as gmail does conversations, if a new mail comes for that conversation the number of new mail isn't being updated.

when I open the https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/Inbox
which docky is using there are 3 email entries, but it is still showing a 0 email count

I have exactly the same bug.
It worked fine until yesterday.

I'm using Docky 2.2.0 bzr docky r1828 ppa
on Ubuntu 10.10

You can fix it by doing the following in GmailAtom.cs. Change this:

UnreadCount = Convert.ToInt32 (xml.SelectSingleNode ("//atom:fullcount", nsmgr).InnerText);

NewCount = 0;
foreach (UnreadMessage message in tmp)
    if (message.SendDate > GMailPreferences.LastChecked)
        NewCount++;

to this:

NewCount = 0;
UnreadCount = 0;
foreach (UnreadMessage message in tmp) {
    UnreadCount++;
    if (message.SendDate > GMailPreferences.LastChecked)
        NewCount++;
}

Apparently the google atom feed does not publish the fullcount anymore. It is always set to 0.
