I'm using sieve filters and incoming mail is stored in many folders, not only INBOX. So, in Roundcube we're displaying number of unread messages page title, but this number includes only INBOX messages. From my point of view it's useless and for some peaople maybe confusing.
We cannot display number of all unread messages in all folders (because of performance reasons and hard implementation), so I see two solutions:
- Display unread for currently selected folder only.
- Don't display the number at all.
I think the second is better.
- Display unread for currently selected folder only.
- Don't display the number at all.
I agree. dont display at all. and leave it for a plugin to put something there if someone really wants it.

I disagree.
Im using Opera as my main browser, and always use the page title to check if there are new e-mails available. If you remove that function youll have to check the page every time
you want to see if new mail has arrived.
Most of the people I know use the title to check for new mail.

I second this. I wouldn't mind a plugin though.

I know many people who use this as a feature.

This seems reasonable to me. In this case one can even have multiple tabs open on different folders and each of them is showing the number of new messages. But changing the current behavior will confuse some users because they're not used to switch to Inbox in order to display the number of newly arrived messages.
- Don't display the number at all.
This is not really an option for me. Why removing an existing (and well used) feature?

I have many recent/unread messages in many folders, so displaying counter for INBOX only is confusing (and useless) for me. That's the only reason, to remove confusion.

I would prefer to have configurable. Can't you display the count of all unread messages if option check all folders for recent messages is enabled?

This would be a solution for check-recent action, but we need to update pagetitle when messages are marked as read or deleted and in this cases getting current number of unread in all folders will be expensive and/or could be problematic.
Also we have in current implementation at least one bug. Consider two folders, INBOX with 1 unread and TEST with 0 unread. Steps:
- After login you're in INBOX - pagetitle (1)
- Select folder TEST - pagetitle (0) (empty string)
- Click check-recent (new recent message) - pagetitle (2)
So, I see some inconsistency here (in 2 or 3).
