Drafts folder marked as unread even if mails are read

I believe this is a feature: the reason is that you don't forget that you've got mails in your draft folder. I agree that it is a bit strange looking, but it is useful!

I wasn't sure about it.

Sadly, it seems perceived as a bug by users (who tried to solve the bug of a bold folder in the list altought all mails are read)

Of course, it's not critical and we can say to users : it's not a bug, it's a feature ! ;-)

Lionel, the useful information for the draft folder is probably that you still have some mails you are on working on to that box, having a read count doesn't really makes sense for it. Now it could perhaps use an another visual indicator (color or something) to make it different from an unread count, but I'm not sure that's worth forwarding it since upstream already doesn't cope with the load of bugs and wishlists they get. I'm tempted to just reject it as NOTABUG but marking it "Needs Info" for now. Let me know if you have some good idea on how it should be or if we should just assume that users have to get used at the feature with a detail anyway

I would suggest to mark the number of mails in the folder as it is now but without highlightening it in bold.

Bold is the metaphor for "unread", IMHO.

So, simply removing bold would be perfect.

I admit that this is not critical at all and we can just say : "users will learn". It's just not perfect ;-)

reported it upstream (we can try ;-) ) :

> Bold is the metaphor for "unread", IMHO.

I disagree with you, it's the metaphor for "something is waiting on you" or "you have some work to do with it" rather but let's wait for upstream opinion

upstream closed it as NOTABUG with that comment:

"Drafts folder is marked in bold to draw the attention of the user that there is
pending work/mails.

notabug."

doing the same with the distro task. Feel free to argue upstream if you disagree
