reporting unred mail when none is there

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The app is reporting that I have 3 unread mail where gmail itself is reporting 
all mail red. I have totally reformatted my computer and when throught all the 
mail one at a time to confirm that all mail is read in all folders.

RSS feed shows NO unread emails. the new gmail also brings all unread emails to 
the top of the list and shows NO unread emails, so this must be an issue within 
your app.

I'm sorry but that's impossible.
I'm parsing this feed (https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/unread) so if 
it's empty - my app won't show unread emails too.

It might however happen that this feed shows "<fullcount>0</fullcount>" ("0" 
unread emails) so that any feed reader will show 0 unread, but later in the xml 
it will still show some "unread" (and archieved) emails.

This is a confirmed and known behaviour and it's not a bug but an intended 
functionality.

It was also reported in:

If you have any browser addons installed, try to paste this into your 
addressbar (works for chrome/firefox):
view-source:https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/unread
