Be aware installing new Tb versions #92

The new Tb versions are changing the storage (and probably other config files).
As soon as you start the new version the configs will be updated.
(TB78.13.0 -> TB91.0.1)

You can not go back to the old TB without reinstalling ALL your accounts.

Make a backup before you upgrade....

yeah 91 does not work with systray-x.

you need any help porting to the new version?

I got it almost working except for the new mail count. That is not supported with the new API. But the unread mail count is working fine.
The only problem I have is storing / retrieving the filters and using them in the preferences to setup the account tree.
Somehow the data of the accounts / folders changes somewhere, somehow. I already tried to "repair" the inbox filter but that seems not to work. The path of the folder is sometimes returned in upper-case and in an other call it is lower case. Fun.

Going to dive into the problem this weekend.

<snip> How's this going .. after a few months, has anything emerged?! I have a stack of "unread" emails (many thousand), but keep watch on the New emails, because that's how my email works...

The new mail counter works fine for me (TB 102.4, on Debian 11 / Gnome 3.38)). This issue should probably be closed.

As a side note, it would be great to add a visual "new mail" indicator for people who choose to show the unread mail count. I opened an issue for that (https://github.com/Ximi1970/systray-x/issues/134).
