Comment 1 for bug 412820

I have found that the number appearing on the Mail Notification icon is accurate until the number of Unread messages, in my Inbox, reaches a critical number. I am not sure what that number is, but I had several hundred Unread messages and when I marked them all as Read, the number that appears on the Mail Notification icon seems to be accurate, now.

The problem is that when I set the properties for the Status Icon to Launch the Mail Reader, it would launch Evolution. I followed a procedure to make Gmail my default email client, however, now, when I click on the Status Icon, it launches a Gmail Compose a Message instead of opening the Gmail Inbox.
