I quickly tried this out on my TB 3.0.4 Ubuntu running FireTray 0.2.5 dev. You
didn't
provide any instructions so what I did was to more the current GUID directory
aside
and to untar this to my extensions directory. When restarting TB it started, in
the
tray as configured, but I could not get it to normalize out of the tray so I
reverted
back.
I hope to see this functionality to make it to the released version someday.

Instructions to install and test this modified firetray:
- untar firetray.tgz You obtain a directory named
{9533f794-00b4-4354-aa15-c2bbda6989f8}
- go to your extensions folder (something like
~/.thunderbird/[random_string].default/extensions/ )
- delete the old {9533f794-00b4-4354-aa15-c2bbda6989f8} directory and copy new one here.
- restart thunderbird, and go to firetray preferences to choose the mail folders you
want to check.
It should work. If not, let me know.

Issue 65 has been merged into this issue.

It would be useful to have the option, for each account:
- to restrict the check on a separate subset of folders (no selection could mean
either to check only inbox or, alternatively, to check all folders)
- to exclude a subset of folders from the check.
these two options would make this extension perfect.

Sorry I didn't see your installation instructions. Didn't really change my
statement however. I have it said to start TB minimized and I cannot get it out
of the tray! I can create a new message but if I select Restore all or double
click the tray icon it does not normalize the main window.
Playing around with this by turning off the minimize on start I have
experienced where sometimes the main window will normalize in another
workspace, or apparently not at all. Often it kills my window manager (compiz),
one time it locked up my system!
I'd love this fix but it is too unreliable for me to use.
Suggestion: I have 5 accounts (2 mail and 3 news). Listing all 5 makes the
options dialog box fairly tall. You might want to try a different approach.

I think a more sane behavior is to specify unread mail per account when
hovering the mouse over the systray icon.
If this behavior is appreciated, I may try to provide a patch.

I think the best approach would be a mix of the one proposed by jreybert and
the one suggested by kowloon12. That's the way I would like to implement this
feature.
I agree with hicham.haouari about the tray tooltip, which could be used for
displaying more information about the unread messages (maybe with an option to
show the number of messages for each account or for each containing folder)

Hi again,
I needed to update my tweaked firetray since the v2.3 does not work with
Thunderbird 3.1. I added again my features, ie. select which folder in unread
count, in the svn trunk version. Like in the previous version, you can select
the folders in the option pane.
You can find it in attachment.

jreybert, your tweak doesn't work on my Linux F12 x86-64 TB3.1.
fsoltrash, is there a chance to see the feature integrated into the mainline ?

foudfou, when you say it does not work, what is the problem?

jreybert, I followed your installation indications above (except that I renamed
trunk/ into {9533f794-00b4-4354-aa15-c2bbda6989f8}/). Then launch TB, which
starts starts well, but seems to be half broken: can't get to display the
message pane, lightning doesn't show up, when trying to access the extension
tool nothing happens, no Help menu available, no tray... It doesn't seem like a
conflict with other extensions: I've tried with a fresh new account
(-ProfileManager) and only your extension installed, but still the same
problems occurred.
BTW I'm now using TB 3.1.2.

Hi again,
firetray is not a classical addon, as it uses dynamic library files. You must
build the source, a simple copy from the sources is not enough.
I provide two solutions:
1) the firetray_folders.xpi file. You just need to select and install from the
addon manager.
2) the firetray_folders.tgz file. It contains the svn trunk directory, with my
changes. You have to run the 'build.sh' script. It need some dependances, like
libgtk2.0-dev (with Debian, install them with apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev)
and others.
Let me know if it works.

i just tried the XPI and it works (Thank you!), but i still have the same
problem as before:
i use googlemail with IMAP and it has the "Archives"-Folder. so when a mail
arrives it is counted twice - one time in the Inbox and one time in the
Archives.
please include an option just to count the Inbox :)
Original comment by floschro...@gmail.com

it seems that the messages are counted 3 times with your modifications :\
i have 2 new messages in my inbox and it counts 6...

Hm, sometimes there is a problem for the first use. Go into the firetray
options, chek all the accounts, uncheck all then check ones you want.

today, after waking up the PC from hibernation, i got a mail about your post
and it was only counted twice "as usual". i didn't change anything, maybe it
was only a glitch

The .xpi worked for me using Thunderbird 3.1 on Ubuntu 10.04. Thanks for doing
this! My question is since this is a custom .xpi, will you be providing
updates or will the add-on manager update it based off of the common firetray
stream?
Original comment by plac...@gmail.com

@placson
Glad it works.
I did not disabled updates on this custom xpi. If an update occurs, it will be
an offical update: if tweaks are not included in the offical code, you will
loose them.
My improvement, in a line code adding count, is not much. I don't know if a
fork is appropriate in this case. I will see next time this addon needs an
update because it is not compatible with thunderbird anymore.

I guess a patch against latest trunk would have been more appropriate.

Jrebert work has been merged in the latest svn rev. I changed the option to
"select accounts to exclude" instead of "select accounts to check" so by
default all accounts are enabled.
I'm also thinking of saving some kind of unique id of the selected account to
prevent problems when accounts are deleted

@placson: you should no longer use my own xpi. fsoltrash has merged my work
into the svn. You should use the svn version (which is up to date).

This is a very cool feature, thanks!
Could you please make FireTray list the actual folders though, which would
then, if selected, be included in the count? My situation is that I'm
subscribed to mailing lists that I don't always have time to read right away
and messages from those lists are sorted into folders (I think that many people
do that).
Thanks. :-)

Nice patch. But it's pretty useless when you have a number of mailing lists on
your main mail account, as comment 36 describes. Per folder (instead of per
account) notification is absolutely necessary. Thanks!
