I just released version 3.1 of Mail Unread Menu, which includes a few improvements and bug fixes to the Mail utility. In my opinion, one of the largest improvements is a change in the way that the menu is shown, so that we’re back to the NSStatusItem standard of having sharp corners at the top of the menu. I at least know that Shaun Inman will be happy with this change and that’s good enough for me.

Download version 3.1 or run “Check For Updates…” from the application’s menu.

• New Features
  • Separated unread counts from mailboxes which are shared between accounts.
• Changes
  • Simplified the way the menu is generated.
• Fixes
  • Fixed an issue with a slow down when only getting count from Inbox.
  • Fixed small delay when running scripts.
  • Fixed issue if a custom icon could not be found.
  • Fixed an issue with the count showing 0 when sending an email.

[Update]: In the comments, Trevor Cortez pointed out a small bug with the newly released version 3.1. As a result, I released a version 3.1.1 which fixes this bug and also makes one small interface change.
