Re: [Evolution] The Unread count bug revisited

[Ian <ixb videotron ca>]

In my case, I have one subdirectory that shows a count of four "unread" messages.  I select one and the "unread" count goes to five.  I "read" it and it goes back to four.  This is on Ubuntu 10.04.  There are no emails showing "bold".
Ideas?
