Good!
The hostname also changed I assume?
(Aside: that it's called "mail source" for deleting or renaming, but
"IMAP Mailbox" for adding is unfortunate.)
Originally I intended MailMate to handle more kinds of sources (POP3,
NNTP, RSS, ...) and this has unfortunately left behind some naming
confusion. That's of course just a bad excuse.
I then added the account anew, but of course with the same email
address. That worked, but...
Under "Sources", the recreated account shows four unread messages in
Inbox. That's correct, and corresponds to what I had before the
shuffling. However, in the unified Inbox, the sub-folder for that
account shows no counter, i.e., no unread messages. I have a smart
folder under "Inbox" for unseen messages; its subfolder for that
account also shows zero--but when I open that folder, I do see those
four messages. In other words, the smart folder knows which the four
unread messages are but doesn't know how to count them. Huh? The
"Displayed Count" setting for it, the parent "Unseen" folder, and the
unified inbox itself all say "Inherit"; the other folders under
"Unseen" all display the correct count of unread messages.
I've seen this on two different computers. On one of those two but not
the other, deleting the source deleting the corresponding folder under
Messages/IMAP; on the other, it did not. (I renamed it to get it out
of the way.)
Does this issue persist if you relaunch MailMate? If it does then we can
try debugging (off list). If it doesn't then it's likely related to
removing/adding the account and maybe I can try to reproduce it given
the above.
