Re: [Evolution] New Mail display not working properly

Nope, it was a straight 1.2 install, with mail imported from mbox folders.

It appears that fixing that one folder has fixed all the other folder notifications.

Hmm, thats interesting.  Did you upgrade from an earlier version of
evolution?  Did you use any 1.1.x versions?

It may be that the folder names it thinks it has doesn't match the ones
it uses, so the updates get lost on their way to the display of folders.
