Bug Description
I'm using ubuntu mate and have been using unity mail for quite some time now. I need to monitor three email accounts, all google, so it is very convenient for me.
Usually, when there is unread mail in an inbox, a little yellow asterisk displays on the unity mail icon, and details of the emails appear in a drop down menu. This is no longer happening, although there has been an unread email in one of the accounts for a couple of hours now. Incidentally, a "poll now" feature would be very useful to people setting up unity mail, just to verify that everything's working.
(After I'd changed one of the google mail passwords only on google) I noticed that the unity mail icon had disappeared from the mate top panel. Running it from Applications-
So I uninstalled it, and reinstalled, setting up the three gmail accounts apparently with no trouble, and with the new password on the appropriate account. Now the unity icon is back, but not working in the sense that the unread mail icon does not display even when there is unread mail.
I will need some details to unravel this mistery:
1. What is your Ubuntu MATE version and architecture
2. What is the Unity Mail version
