I slighlty different observations from #5:

When I start from a clear message menu (no entries in the menu of the indicator under email) and receive an email, everything works as expected: the indicator is set to "no unread mail" after reading the email.

However, after days of usage, restarts of thunderbird and of unity, the indicator stops working: a received email is read, but the indicator stays on "unread messages"

Workaround: Once I go manually through all the entries under email in the submenu of the message indicator, it works again.

However, each RSS feed stays listed there even after I read all items in there. So I'm assuming, this bug is somehow related to the handling of reading RSS items.

Suggestion: make the reset action in the indicator menu reset all the entries under email in the indicator menu, including all RSS feeds.
