new mail notification icon in tray when no new mail

hello,

i have tons of email filters. some of which mark mail read. often i find when i get "new mail" that there is no new mail. because the message has been marked as read by my filters. please fix this so it works properly.

To be clear, you want messages that are automatically marked as read to not trigger the new mail notification (and status in the systray)?

i believe that would be a more correct behavior don't you think?

As a user i have my mail program telling me i have "new mail" i go to see the new mail and there is none.

tell me why you think that is correct behavior?

I can see it both ways. On the one end, a new message that's automatically marked as read is still a newly-received message. On the other, I can see some not wanting to be notified about those messages.

So, for Opera's current behavior, it seems correct for Opera given the way it process new messages (automatically mark as read by a label isn't the first thing that's processed for the message). But, perhaps it'd be better the way you suggest (at least as an option).

I don't feel strongly either way on this.

New email came --> notification triggered from system tray --> message mark as read by custom filter.
( as I have the same environment many filters, mark as read, and always notify me from system try when email arrives )

Make sense to me.

I manually mark all incoming as Read when I select them to read. BUT, to stay on-thread here, I have the opposite problem with 12.02

Often I will hear the boing of incoming mail, but the Tray icon does not change to a number. When I maximize Opera, the mail is marked as Un-read in the listing.
