Hi, Thank you for all the answers. I was not aware of many of these internal IMAP details.
Taskbar count is now implemented passive, so it doesn't trigger any checks, it just counts numbers that mailboxes already have. I'd stick with this solution, so recursive check is cheap. With this solution if mailbox has unread items it triggers taskbar count update, not the other way. After your responses, I'm convinced to opt-in with one default: INBOX. Subscribed status will not matter. Selected folders are stored in configuration in a list. To summarise: - passive check as it is right now, no connection triggers and no changes to current model, - recursive check and match by mailbox name, - opt-in with one default: INBOX, - chosen folders are stored in configuration, - in GUI, option on every folder to include it with taskbar count. Please post if you're not satisfied with this solution and it can be improved.
