From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: If you are reading email, and have one selected folder (say, inbox), evolution 1.x used to display in title bar the number of unread messages. As people tend to let their e-mail app open all the time, this was useful, so you didn't need to switch to application to look for new mail - just looking at window list would tell you so. As of evolution 2, it simply says 'evolution', and you have to focus evolution window to know if new mail has arrived. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.0.2-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open evolution 2 2.minimize it 3.look at application title on window list Actual Results: It displays "evolution" Expected Results: Something like "evolution - inbox(11) - or whatever the folder and unread messages. Just like evolution 1.4's default behaviour. Additional info:
I think this may well have been done on purpose - http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=69311

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
This is no longer an issue for evolution 2.6.
marking fixed as per comment #4.
