Re: [Evolution] UNREAD virtual folder.

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

i believe this is explained in the manual.

the virtual folder only updates itself when you switch away from it.

this is so in normal operation, you use that folder to read your unread
mail, andwhen you come back to it, its refreshed.  you can also do an
expunge to force a refresh.

this is so that you can actually use it, and dont click on a messageand
have it vanish instantly as its status goes from unread to read,it then
selects the next unread message, and basically reads the whole mailbox
itself.
