OK, so Modest isn't the quickest when dealing with IMAP accounts and it has a fair few other glitches... Hopefully these are just teething issues which will be dealt with very soon.

The thing that really bugs me though, is how it doesn't tell you how many new/unread emails you have in your mailbox(es). It's caused me to miss a really important email once already; and because visiting each inbox to check if they have anything is so slow, the whole thing is really really cumbersome...

I know these kind of comparisons aren't welcome but I do hope that someone who has a chance to work on Modest takes a quick look at the below pictures and grasps what needs to be done - just add the number of new emails on the account summary screen...
