Not unread count displayed by newmail plugin. I wanted to make sure that you haven't confused number of unread emails by not counting collapsed folders or by relying only on newmail plugin count. Could you check how many unread emails you have in all your subscribed folders and only then compare it with unread count reported by newmail plugin. NewMail plugin uses IMAP STATUS command to get RECENT/UNSEEN message counts. It is possible that plugin reports recent count incorrectly when multiple mailboxes are checked. Plugin uses IMAP commands that don't modify \Recent flag. I suspect that if plugin is used to report recent messages, it should do IMAP SELECT on checked mailbox or check message counts according to IMAP RFC recommendations. -- Tomas -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/New-Mail-Notice-tp27348241p27381621.html Sent from the squirrelmail-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com ----- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
