Hi,
I installed and set up pc-alpine lately. I set INBOX to my gmail
account, enabled incoming folders collection, and added folders for my
other two accounts.

Now, everytime I receive message on gmail, everything works fine, icon
turns red.
But it won't work for other accounts... How do I fix it?

Are the other accounts also IMAP accounts ?
Are you not able to read any messages at all from the other accounts ?
Are you able to connect to the other servers through other means ?
Does making one of the other accounts as INBOX have any impact ?

Regards,
Supreet.

Yes.

I can read messages. I can even see there is notification of new mail
inside alpine window. Only the icon never turns red.

Yes, with no problems.

Yes. Red icon starts working for that particular account, and stops
for gmail.

In the end, I think I found work-around:
When I look inside a folder, then return to menu or incoming folders
list, that one folder is still open.
a. if it is INBOX, red icon will appear for new mail _only_ in INBOX.
b. if it is some other incoming folder that is open, red icon works
for any new mail, anywhere.
