Version: 1.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.0, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.4 [FreeBSD] 20050518 OS: FreeBSD (i386) release 7.0-CURRENT This could be a duplicate, but I didn't see it. That noted: I have my mail folder set up like so: pop3 account delivers to Inbox, Inbox should report new messages if they are in there. A bunch of filters are in place to take messages that are being delivered to Inbox and instead toss them in <mailing-list-name> directory. I keep just the system tray visible and if it looks like I have mail, open up the kmail window. However, with this system, the count is reflecting the sum of new messages added to all of the <mailing-list-name> directory and the Inbox even though "Act on new/unread mail in this folder" is unchecked on all but Inbox itself. Further, as soon as I open kmail's main window (via clicking on the system tray icon) the count is corrected.

Same issue on kubuntu feisty / kontact 1.2.4 / kmail 1.9.6 I always see that behavior since I begin to use Kontact (2 or 3 yrs) Kmail is setup with 4 imap account.
