Package: sylpheed Version: 2.3.0~beta5-1 Severity: minor I use fetchmail and a local IMAP server to collate my email from various accounts into one place and maildrop to sort mail into IMAP folders. When sylpheed notices new email in one of the folders, the tray icon is updated but when that email has been read, the tray icon is not reliably updated.
If sylpheed is currently viewing the folder that has received new email, clicking New or using Shift-N does not update the tray icon. If sylpheed is viewing a different folder and I click on the folder with the new mail, the tray icon is updated instantly - BEFORE all the messages in that folder have been read. If there is more than one folder with new mail, the tray icon is OK until the last folder with new mail is opened, at which point the tray icon indicates no more mail even if unread mail exists in that last folder. There is no way to update the tray icon until new email arrives, resulting in a misleading indication that new email exists when it does not. Equally, I then miss the arrival of the next lot of email because the indicator is already showing new email before the new email arrives. The tray icon should be updated more reliably with IMAP and it should also take notice of an automated check so that if (for any reason) the email that was new is now marked as read, the tray icon is updated when sylpheed next checks the folders for new email. Equally, selecting "Get from all accounts" from the tray icon context menu should also update the tray icon itself if there is no new email. e.g. right now, the tray icon indicates 1 new email but no new email exists and nothing I do will reset the tray icon, except closing sylpheed and restarting it - which negates the point of the tray icon. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 Debian Release: lenny/sid 500 unstable www.linux.codehelp.co.uk 500 unstable www.emdebian.org 500 unstable mirror.ox.ac.uk 500 unstable ftp.uk.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ================================-+-============== libaspell15 (>= 0.60) | 0.60.5-1 libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.12.2) | 1.18.0-2 libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1) | 2.5-2 libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4) | 1.4.4-1 libcompfaceg1 | 1:1.5.2-4 libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0) | 2.4.2-1.2 libfreetype6 (>= 2.2) | 2.2.1-5 libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0) | 2.12.11-3 libgpg-error0 (>= 1.4) | 1.4-2 libgpgme11 (>= 1.0.1) | 1.1.2-5 libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.8.0) | 2.8.20-7 libgtkspell0 (>= 2.0.2) | 2.0.10-3+b1 libldap2 (>= 2.1.17-1) | 2.1.30-13.4 libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.14.7) | 1.14.8-5 libpisock9 | 0.12.2-9 libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.8rel) | 1.2.15~beta5-1 libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8c-1) | 0.9.8e-4 libusb-0.1-4 (>= 2:0.1.12) | 2:0.1.12-6 libx11-6 | 2:1.0.3-7 libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2) | 1:1.1.8-2 libxext6 | 1:1.0.3-2 libxfixes3 (>= 1:4.0.1) | 1:4.0.3-2 libxi6 | 1:1.0.1-4 libxinerama1 | 1:1.0.2-1 libxrandr2 | 2:1.1.0.2-5 libxrender1 | 1:0.9.2-1 zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1) | 1:1.2.3-13 -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
