Other email clients I've used before (Thunderbird, Apple mail) consider only unread emails in the inbox for the purpose of determining what number to badge the Task Manager icon with. I know this is configurable, but we might want to consider making it the default. This seems like a less stressful setting since it means that your unread count doesn't balloon when you get a lot of spam messages or your mailing list folders fill up.
Nope. We can do it in folder properties and I don't want to activate each time as I create a new folder. I use pop3 and imap folder I don't want to activate for each folders.
