FireTray counts messages twice on GMail
I'm using several GMail accounts with Thunderbird and FireTray and FireTray counts every unread message twice because of their presence in "All Mail".
I do have "All Mail" selected as the archival location so, at least, I'd expect my intent to be made clear to FireTray by having "Archive" deselected in "Included special folders".
This happens with every version of FireTray I've ever used from 0.3.x (and possibly older) pre-ctypes versions right up through 0.4.1 from AMO and 2e65e07029fcc69ba9772f1ea1ad33b65692698e in the themable-icons
branch.
From my perspective, there are two bugs here:
- FireTray isn't omitting a custom Archive location when I have Archive set to be hidden from the count.
- FireTray is vulnerable to double-counting messages when the IMAP server allows one message to appear in multiple places.
The latter may or may not be soluble. You'd have to see whether GMail's IMAP implementation exposes any kind of message ID that's unique across different folders.
I get this error too, except I don't know about archiving.
