The problem with that is that if I, between two updates by the plugin, read one unread e-mail and receive another new e-mail. In that case I will have the exact same number of unread mails as on the last update but it will not mean that I do not have new e-mails to check.
 
This thing needs a proper updating algorithm with some hashing of unread message ids to avoid this situation.
 
Although, as a temporary fix, your solution will deal with the spurious notifications when deleting unread messages.

 I didn't have much time and was not able to build the git repo code but I believe this could be easily fixed by changing line 165 in panel-plugin/mailwatch-plugin.c. I'm not sure what way round but instead of saying 
'if (new_messages != mwp->new_messages) {'
changing the '!=' to a '

I can confirm this. It annoys the heck out of me to the point I've applied as a dev for this plugin but haven't had the time to fix it as of yet.
 
Definitely not the type of behavior you would expect. I also have an audio notification played so it's an additional nuisance.

 Hi,

I am using my XFCE4 Desktop with the Mailwatch Plugin that tells me whether I have a new mail or not. Now, eventually I leave one email unread to remind me to answer it next time I open my mailbox. Let's consider the following case:
I had 1 unread message and get a new (second) one (that I get notified about from Mailwatch). I read it (thus not being marked as unread anymore) and I press the 'Update Now' button. I expect not to get a notification as the other unread message was marked (and notified about) before already, but happen to get a notification anyway.

I was wondering whether this may be called a bug, if there is a simple solution and whether you knew about it :-)


Greetings.
