Re: [Evolution] New Mail display not working properly

I've recently swapped mail clients to Evolution 1.2, and aside from the
whole love-at-first-use business, there is one minor problem...

Specifically, some folders (including the one I've created for this
mailing list) won't go bold if there's new mail contained therein.  I've
tried looking at the filters, mailbox properties, and general
properties, but haven't found anything along the lines of "Don't notify
for new mail in this folder" anywhere.

My setup is a bit odd -- I'm running Evolution 1.2 off of a FreeBSD
4.7-STABLE machine, with the display exporting to an Exceed server
running on a Windows 2000 workstation.  (Evolution is, in my opinion,
the best e-mail client I've used on Windows.  Ironic, eh?)

Anyhow, it's kind of a pain to not know if new mail has arrived.  I
can't use the sound, since Evolution isn't running on my workstation,
otherwise that would be a viable workaround.

Any ideas?

I seem to have possibly figured out a workaround...

1) move all the mail in the non-new-mail-displaying folder to a newly
created folder
2) delete the old folder
3) quit Evolution
4) % killev
5) % killev
6) % killev ; echo "Just playing overkill."
7) Start Evolution again
8) Rename the newly created folder to the old folder, update filter
rules, and voila!  New mail is now shown.

Oddly enough, I did this for the initial problem folder, and it seems to
have solved the problem with a couple of other folders...
