Re: The infamous unread email flag bug

Correct.

In this case of course the tray icon
should continue to display because two unread (bold) emails remain in
the inbox. If all three are acted upon by the "mark it as read" rule
because all three meet the criteria, then there are no more messages
to read and the flag should disappear if the problem were fixed. I
don't think any user would be unhappy with this behavior. This is
the expected and correct behavior.

It is certainly not the expected behavior (to me, expected behavior is as-implemented behavior) and I'm not convinced it's correct, either. It remains, however, that the two processes are disconnected.
