Bug Description

Currently the indicator remains as long as there are unread messages in the inbox. This is a little bit counter intuitive and undermines the point of the indicator (the star/green dot on a new notification). The star should go away on click as this is an explicit indication that I have acknowledged that there are unread messages in my inbox.

well, I think the best solution would be
1. that the notifier doesn't rely on the unread-flag anymore and just displays every new message in the Inbox/selected folder
2. that the indicator count represents the number of new messages since the last click on it

I will integrate this into the next 0.9 release
