Comment 4 for bug 40719

I would suggest to mark the number of mails in the folder as it is now but without highlightening it in bold.

Bold is the metaphor for "unread", IMHO.

So, simply removing bold would be perfect.

I admit that this is not critical at all and we can just say : "users will learn". It's just not perfect ;-)

reported it upstream (we can try ;-) ) :
