It'd certainly be good if they'd address some of the existing issues
before working on new features, I agree.

Confirmed, in a way. It does work for the most part, but quite often
doesn't detect messages, this runs along the lines of bug 2 you
mention. You might want to double check that you have the IMAP folders
that you want to appear on the ticker setup for it (right click on the
ticker, and go to the "Folders" option).

Confirmed... I've also found selecting folders that have the * in the
"new" column has the same effect, it rediscovers the new messages, and
finally adds them to the ticker.

Unfortunately confirmed... this has been bugging me for several
versions.
