Hey Jim, I think we're agreeing about what the badge means, but not what that implies :p
I feel like having 160 "todo" items in my trash is a little counter- intuitive. Even taking into account filters (of which I do have a few), I think that by setting up a filter to automatically trash certain types of mail means I'm not really concerned with reading those mails. I'm also really confused about how/why I could possibly have unread messages (or "todo" items or however you'd like to refer to them) in my "Sent" folder. My only guess is that Geary is picking up unread messages in conversations that I'm involved in. Which again, I think is a little counter-intuitive since I'm looking in my "Sent" folder for things that I have sent, not really for unread messages in a conversation. This may only be a problem for someone like my that has a very very high volume of mail. But I find the current situation extremely distracting. It's kind of stressful to see that I have almost 13,000 things that need my attention in "All Mail" (which I believe is my archive? But I'm really not sure what "All Mail" means). For what it's worth, it looks like (out of the default tags/folders) only "Inbox" "Drafts" and "Spam" show unread message counts in Gmail, in addition of course to custom tags/folders. To be clear, my concern isn't about visual design :) Just about only showing these badges in places where my attention is actually required. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
