[Q] Shortcuts to mailbox - Desire General

I have a shortcut to each of my mailboxes on one of my homescreens. When I created them, they showed the number of unread emails as a small number on the mailbox icon. The number never changes and does not get updated when new emails come in or are deleted. Is there a way to show the current number of unread emails on the icon?
TIA

Slinding Panels - e-mail count is not unread?

I've noticed that the number of e-mails shown in the sliding panels is not the number of unread e-mail in your inbox. Well, it is, until you open the mail client, then it resets to zero, regardless of whether you read any messages.
So my Outlook currently has 4 unread messages. I click on the Messages panel, click on Outlook and my inbox opens, and correctly I have 4 unread messages. I do not open any of them, so they are still unread.
Going back to the home screen, the sliding panel now says zero.
i.e. this is really showing the number of unread messages since you last opened the mailbox, not the total number of unread messages.
is this just my build? I'm running one of the Ricky/Kavana builds, number 4 I think.

Maybe it's just me...but it doesn't really bother me that I can't see the number of unread messages on my sliding panel. I choose to focus my anal tendencies (pardon the disgusting pun, lol) towards things like fonts and 3G! By the way, where's the 3 daggum G T-Mo?!
I actually like this feature - because I'll always have unread messages in my desktop outlook, without this feature it would always show something like "34". But since I also have a few POP email accounts setup in my phone, I could never tell if I have any new emails in them because they would be mixed in with the grand "unread total".
But, because you can clear the count for the "outlook" inbox by simply opening up that inbox, then any number I subsequently see for email count will indicate that I have waiting email in one of my POP accounts - very cool to me.
BTW, does anyone know where these "new unread since last inbox opened" counts are stored in the registry?
There NOT at locations like this:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail\Unread\Count
Because those are the "unread" count, not the "new since last access" count that the sliding panel notification uses.

Gmail notifications

I have some labels set up so emails from certain contacts are immediately moved to their labels and are archived. However, while I get notifications for emails sent to my regularly inbox on my Desire, emails sent to the aformentioned labels have no notifications. Any help?
The only way I have found you can get notifications from incoming emails is to have them not archived straight to the label. If they go to the inbox and then you manually archive them, you will receive the notification
Notifications are only generated from messages landing in your inbox, if your archiving them straight away then they are considered "read" therefore no notification will be generated.

[REQ]K9 icon with unread email

Is there a way to get K9 to show the number of unread emails in the icon like the default mail does?

show multiple messages in notification pulldown

Is there a way to display multiple gmail messages or go sms messages in my notification bar? Often it will say Gmail - 2 unread messages and Go SMS- 3 unread messages. I would like for all of them two show up one after another. I know that if you have two new gmail messages in two different folders it will display two notifications, but the same inbox doesn't. Thanks!

No, I do not believe it is possible if they're in the same inbox.
Uncheck "Notify once" under label settings... I think

Using this template right now but on the Gmail inbox (I've renamed it to Mail inbox) it shows up as -1 on the number and isn't changing even tho I got unread emails. How can I fix this, and can I somehow make it show unread count for Email instead of Gmail? Thanks!
