I noticed that upon receiving new emails in Thunderbird, the Ubuntu Dock icon shows a green unread notification dot - great. However, when I read the email, the notification dot never changes or goes away, it just always stays at the previous count.

Also I noticed that if you start Thunderbird with say 5 unread emails the dock icon does not show any notification dot count. So the dot only seems to be shown or update on receiving new emails but nothing else.

I could not see anything reported in Bugzilla and wondered if anyone else has noticed this problem? Not sure if a Thunderbird issue or a Ubuntu dock issue.

I have a new clean installation of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Snap install of Thunderbird (128.0esr). Can't see any config options regarding notification dots.

The indicator seems to show the number of system notifications, not the number of unread mail. See this comment on the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/2015674
