Great extension...but it's disabled on upgrade to TB5 because of incompatibility.

I am running Thunderbird 3.0.3pre from the lauchpad ppa in Ubuntu 9.10. I installed the add-on to display the new message count, but it doesn't appear to be working.

What output do you need?

Works great but would wonderful if it also support new items in RSS feeds

I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Thunderbird 3.0.4 (and 3.2a1pre), Gnome Do 0.8.3.1, and Docky Unread Count Add-on 0.3.

I am not seeing any change to my Thunderbird icon in my Docky.

I have checked the "count messages in sub-folders" but it still only displays the number of unread messages in my inbox folder.

I have 7 other folders at the same level as the inbox,not counting trash, sent, junk drafts, etc..

On Ubuntu 10.10, using Thunderbird 3.1.8

Its a great add-on, only wish it counted my other folders.

Latest update fixed counter on KDE with Dock Manager, thanks! But the new problem appears. The badge always shows number by one less then the actual count of unread messages. E.g. -1 with zero unread count, no badge with 1 unread, 1 with 2 unread and so on. If that helps, I'm using subfolders in inbox and "Count messages in subfolders" is checked.

Guys,
this question was recently asked on AskUbuntu - the originator said that this add-on was incompatible with Thunderbird 6 even if he overrode compatibility checks.

The icon only task manager supports both the DockManager and Unity api. Docky-thunderbird works well under KDE when one minor modification is made. Simply replace everything following the ###### above the try-except block with:

class KDEDBus(DockyDBus):
        def __init__(self):
                DockyDBus.__init__(self, 'net.launchpad.DockManager', '/net/launchpad/DockManager', 'net.launchpad.DockManager', 'net.launchpad.DockItem');
######

try:
        KDEDBus().update();
except BaseException as e:
        print "Couldn't connect to KDE Dockmanager - falling back to Docky. Reason: ", e
        #Fallback to Docky - someone's not using KDE :-(
        try:
                DockyDBus().update()
        except BaseException as e:
                print "Couldn't connect to docky - using fallback to v2.1.x. Reason: ", e
                #Fallback to 21
                try:
                        DockyDBus21().update()
                except BaseException as e:
                        print "Couldn't connect to docky - using fallback to 2.0.x. Reason: ", e
                        #Fallback to old docky
                        DockyDBus20().update()

Everytime I boot my Laptop the Thunderbird icon has no badge on it. Independently on the number of unread mails.

If i let Thunderbird open and I recieve 10 mails and I don't read them, the badge shows 10 unread mails. If I close Thunderbird and I reopen it, I still have those 10 mails unread, but no badge. Then, if I recieve an email, the badge shows 1 unread email, when, in fact, i have 11 unread emails.

I think the extension should in some way update the value when Thunderbird is open, in that way you can see if you left emails unread directly from the dock icon.
