I downloaded the beta for Postbox yesterday and I’m loving it. I should really post about some of the cool features it has but if you’re using Mail.app you need to switch or at least try it out and see for yourself.
One of the issues I noticed right off the bat was my labels/folders were not being checked for new mail. The inbox is always refreshed but with my extensive filtering with gmail (or google apps) not all my email hits the inbox.
The solution is easy though, very easy. You just need to use the Config Editor to look for new email in all folders and show unread counts for all folders.
First Step:
Go to Preferences (command+,) > Advanced Tab > Config Editor > Select the “I’ll be carefull…” button.
You’ll need to find to preference to change. They are mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new and pb.accounts.show_unread_for_inbox_only . Both self explanatory.
Restart and that’s it.
