Description BartOtten 2011-10-04 18:55:48 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

I have set up an Gmail account in Kmail. Gmail uses labels that are correctly imported into Kmail as being folders. However, if I label one unread message in my inbox with say 'Sport' and 'School' it will count as 3 new emails in the systray counter. For inbox, school and sport.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use an IMAP account that support labels
Label an unread message
Import into Kmail


Actual Results:  
The systray will show the number 3

Expected Results:  
The systray should show the number 1

This should be possible to fix using virtual collections which are available in KDE 4.10.

The IMAP resource has a new maintainer, reassigning to him.

Comment 3 Christian Mollekopf 2013-11-19 16:22:51 UTC

This is a conceptual limitation of how google chose to expose tags in imap. It could be solved by a dedicated gmail resource, but is a wontfix for the imap resource.

I believe Daniel Vratil may take up the task of writing a gmail resource.
