Exclude folders from mail count in task bar icon

Hi,

is there a way to exclude certain folders (like spam) from the count for the unread e-mails displayed at the task bar icon?

So similar to the mail ticker option.

I don't think there is, all I see is a binary checkbox in the preferences.

Suggestion for a workaround, especially if you already have filters set up to sort incoming messages into folders: for the folders you don't care so much about, add the action "Mark the message as read" (under "Flags") to the filter.

Thanks for the suggestion. That could kind of work but my main issue are spam folders from e-mail provider. Sure, I could automatically set them to read, but I like to check the folders for false positives

It's weird to me that the option exists for the ticker, but not the badge since they serve (at least for me) similar functions

I agree. You can send a feature request/suggestion to support using the link above.

This could be a quick job if, for example, the devs were to add a simple "sub-checkbox": "Use folder settings from TickerTM".
