Comment 2 for bug 990689

It happens immediately. I didn't change any configuration options, just installed and added my contact details.

Here's the output:

unity-mail: Connection #0 established
unity-mail: Connection #1 established

At this point, I get a notification of 2 emails (actually, only one), and still no number in the launcher icon.

I don't know if this is important, but the issue doesn't arise in my laptop, which I upgraded rather than doing a fresh install.
