One possible solution (that I believe Gmail might do) is to not shoe badges for all unread messages, but only for “unseen” ones—that is, unread messages you haven’t seen the subjects of. So if my Inbox has 112 new mails, and I skim through the list seeing if anything looks urgent, those messages have been “seen” but not read. I know they exist, so I probably don’t need a badge showing me they exist.
I also agree with Dan that showing unread messages in my Sent folder is confusing, but that might be a different issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1379015 Title: Be more conservative about sidebar number badges To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geary/+bug/1379015/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
