Slinding Panels - e-mail count is not unread?

I've noticed that the number of e-mails shown in the sliding panels is not the number of unread e-mail in your inbox. Well, it is, until you open the mail client, then it resets to zero, regardless of whether you read any messages.
So my Outlook currently has 4 unread messages. I click on the Messages panel, click on Outlook and my inbox opens, and correctly I have 4 unread messages. I do not open any of them, so they are still unread.
Going back to the home screen, the sliding panel now says zero.
i.e. this is really showing the number of unread messages since you last opened the mailbox, not the total number of unread messages.
is this just my build? I'm running one of the Ricky/Kavana builds, number 4 I think.

Yep. Mine does the same thing.... It's just how CHome works I guess...

Maybe it's just me...but it doesn't really bother me that I can't see the number of unread messages on my sliding panel. I choose to focus my anal tendencies (pardon the disgusting pun, lol) towards things like fonts and 3G! By the way, where's the 3 daggum G T-Mo?!

I actually like this feature - because I'll always have unread messages in my desktop outlook, without this feature it would always show something like "34". But since I also have a few POP email accounts setup in my phone, I could never tell if I have any new emails in them because they would be mixed in with the grand "unread total".
But, because you can clear the count for the "outlook" inbox by simply opening up that inbox, then any number I subsequently see for email count will indicate that I have waiting email in one of my POP accounts - very cool to me.
BTW, does anyone know where these "new unread since last inbox opened" counts are stored in the registry?
There NOT at locations like this:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail\Unread\Count
Because those are the "unread" count, not the "new since last access" count that the sliding panel notification uses.

Emails on Touch Flo Home Screen

Hi All
Well at last my TP2 arrived today and I've been playing around with it all morning. I have it syncing with my exchange server and everything else seems to be good.
Just one question though, not sure if its been solved or even if its possible. I have 3 Email accounts (1 Exchange One and 2 IMAP4 accounts) all of which work fine, and the number of unread emails shows up on the green 'bubble' on the messaging icon along the bottom of the home screen.
However, is it possible to list maybe how many unread emails there are for your email accounts (or even just the header of say the 1st unread email) on the home screen underneath "Call History" and/or "Calendar"? Thinking about it, can you alter the TF3D home screen in any way like that at all? A bit like the old MS WM home screen (even if it was naff!)
Many thanks in advance
Andy

[Q] GMail unread message count won't clear with Priority Inbox Beta enabled

Hello all,
First I want to say thanks to all the developers and everyone who works so hard to make great stuff!
My question is regarding GMail: I use SkyRaider 3.0 RC2 Vanilla, Launcher Pro Plus, King's #3, OC to 1.13, s-off. I decided to enable the Priority Inbox Beta in my GMail account. I receive quite a bit of emails each day, so it did it's thing by filtering out the good and bad. When I receive a couple emails from people who are people I regularly get emails from, they appear in my Priority Inbox.
My phone's GMail icon will display 2 for 2 unread messages, but when I click on it only one unread shows up. I delete it, so now the unread out is at 1, but nothing is there. I cannot get it to clear unless I go to a computer to log in and get rid of it. I confirmed that both emails are in the same inbox.
Is that normal? I was able to get it corrected by disabling the Priority Inbox, and then clearing the GMail data/cache. Back to normal. Batt pulls, cycling power, nothing would clear the unread count. I understand that this feature is in its Beta phase, and what I am seeing is normal? Any comments?

The same thing has been happening the past few days for me. However I haven't enabled the Priority Inbox feature, and I'm on the 8/1 2.2 leak. I don't think its due to Priority Inbox, but rather a bug with the Gmail app. Just my two cents.

You have to go online in your browser and click on the unread email. I don't know why it's like that but that is how I have been dealing with the issue. If you open your phone's browser and log into gmail you will see the email it is reading and open it or delete it and it will zero out. Prior to rooting I had this issue as well, but could go to the "all mail" label and find what it was seeing, now even when I open it on my phone, it still shows unread sometimes.

I'd like to chime in and say I too noticed this problem today. It showed I had 5 unread messages. When I look in the inbox on my phone they were all read. However going to gmail on my computer showed the unread messages. Its as if the 'read' flag isn't being updated.

show multiple messages in notification pulldown

Is there a way to display multiple gmail messages or go sms messages in my notification bar? Often it will say Gmail - 2 unread messages and Go SMS- 3 unread messages. I would like for all of them two show up one after another. I know that if you have two new gmail messages in two different folders it will display two notifications, but the same inbox doesn't. Thanks!

No, I do not believe it is possible if they're in the same inbox.

Uncheck "Notify once" under label settings... I think

is the any way to clear the email a unread count?

Mine is showing one unread, even though all are showing gray and read in the app. Is there any way to reset or clear that?
I can scroll down and load more older emails, but reading them again doesn't clear the unread notification bubble.

I usually use a desktop browser to connect to Gmail and find/clear the unread message that way. You could probably use Chrome on your GN4 and request the desktop site and do it that way.

I'll try that. Thanks for the tip!
