I guess my KN is 2 then. The notifier is quite sucky, which is surprising. I feel your pain. I guess it just polls every n minutes, and you have to wait n minutes before it will update. I would much rather have it just reset itself when I double-click it. So basically it would keep track of new mail only, forget about unread mail. It would have to add a whole lot of smarts to do that, and it would probably be error prone to boot. They should have implemented keeping track of "new" versus "viewed" email on the server side.
