A simple indicator would be to boldface the folder name. Selecting the folder would clear the flag. Indicating new messages in the Inbox is a separate ticket (#6332) because we can implement that today, whereas this ticket requires Engine work.

The idea here is to indicate within Geary when new messages have arrived in a user label that didn't go through the Inbox. #### #2 Updated by Jim Nelson 3 months ago * **Target version** changed from _0.4.0_ to _0.5.0_ --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 20:28 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 6333 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6333 Unknown milestone "unknown in product geary.

Hello, I was wondering whether there was any progress on this feature? I use geary 0.6.5 on Fedora 20 I use labels a lot to sort incoming emails, bypassing the gmail inbox and placing the email immediately in the label. Labels can be nested. Geary gives no indication in the hierarchy that there are unread emails lower down, so to find new emails in labels, I have to open each label one by one.
You're using a pretty old version of Geary and should consider upgrading. There's no motion on this ticket at the present. At this moment, if this is important to you, I would strongly recommend looking into coding yourself or trying to organize contributor(s).
Hello Jim, Thanks for your reply; I'm using the version that's delivered with Fedora 20 and is available in theor repos. I tried installing the lastest version but no luck, it didn't work. I'm afraid my coding skills are not up to much, but I'll take a look...
I'm going to resolve this as fixed, since Geary master is currently doing the right thing - the Inbox, Junk and all user-created, non-special folders will show an unready count if there are any unread messages, and these counts are updated at startup, when going online, if a user operation involves that folder and periodically when going online. The periodic refresh interval is not currently terribly high (every 15 minutes), since it's expensive for both the client and server. Once Geary implements quick resync (Bug 713117) we'll be able to reduce that, and once we implement IMAP NOTIFY (Bug 730795) and server support for it becomes more widespread, the counts should be updated in real-time.
