The systray icon does not show the number of unread messages on kmail startup. If I disable showing the number of unread messages and then enable it again, it appears. It also appears if I receive a new mail, as well as on some ui operations such as changing folders.
The tooltip of the systray icon also says "No unread messages" on startup, when in fact there are unread messages.
same thing here: no more counter of unread mails in the systray icon since my latest update, KDE 4.12.1 (and linux 3.11.6-4-desktop, OS13.1)
it's working fine on my laptop with exactly (as far as I can tell) the same config. kmail, kdepim4, akonadi etc 4.12.1 r436.1 kdebase4-workspace 4.11.5 r1022.1 I also tried a fresh kmailrc but this did not fix it. akonadi_newmailnotifier is running.
At me it works nowadays.
Could you verify in kmail->settings->account->other action => it will open newmailnotifier settings => go to folder to see what is selected as folder. We use same settings for notify and show value Or kmail->settings->appeareance -> systemtray-> "show unread mail in systray" settings

YES - this is it. No folder was selected. I'm sure that I never touched this. But switching "Mark taskbar entry" on then off deselects all folders - sure, but taskbar notification works with "Mark taskbar entry" deselected. The logics between the 2 tabs (notify and folder) or better: the stored setting seems to have a little disconnect. Thanks for the hint!

Ah ! So this is the problem. When you activate you show info in systray ? >I'm sure that I never touched this.

> "Mark taskbar entry" on then off deselects all folders" ? I don't understand. 1) notify/enable "Mark taskbar entry" has no effect (no counter in the taskbar icon) and all folders remain unselected in tab Folders 2) counter works only after selecting the folders in tab Folders I would expect 1) to already enable the action. Also after closing the tab Folder some selections seems to become deselected (with no effect on the counter).
1) is notification. => show info in taskbar that you have new mail or other it's not systray 2) normal But perhaps there is a pb with selection. I will investigate.
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
