Currently, the folder list shows the total number of unread messages for a folder and its sub-folders: -Debian 100 So all of the two following cases could be the case: -Debian 100 |--Debian KDE 0 |--Debain Users 0 or -Debian 20 |--Debian KDE 30 |--Debain Users 50 or -Debian 0 |--Debian KDE 80 |--Debain Users 20 It would be useful (and in earlier versions of KMail this was the case) if a collapsed top-level folder indicated somehow the number of top-level unread messages in addition to the overall number. IIRC previously it was: - "100" if there are only 100 unread top-level messages. - "20 + 80" if there are 20 in the top-level folder and 80 messages in the children. - "0 + 100" if there are no top-level and 100 unread child folders messages. This would increase the usability again since the user does not open the top-level folder in vain but can simply extend the view in the folder tree view to show th children first, before deciding which folder to open in the message list.
I don"t understand what is the problem it's the case. It was not changed. Please add a screenshot regards
Created attachment 110711 [details] Unread mails (In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #1) > It was not changed. > Please add a screenshot Hi, it seems this was a misunderstanding by me when setting up KMail on a new machine. The old behavior is actually still there, so NOTABUG, I simply did not find it at first because I had the extra "Unread" column enabled. It might help to add a similar feature there as well, though that might then be a different bug.
