In Windows 10, the upgrade from Thunderbird 91.1.0 to 91.1.1 fixed a couple of notification problems. However, the verion 91.1.1 brings with it a new problem - the number of 'new' emails shown in the badge is incorrect. TB actually shows (new emails) x (number of times server is checked since last download). Clearly someone has forgotten to reset a counter somewhere. I have TB server setting set to scan every 15 minutes. If I receive 1 new email but do not download for say 50 minutes, then TB will simply show that I have 3 new emails (=3 scans, 15 minutes apart) instead of 1.

I have the same problem; not only that, but after the last update (91.3.2) it no longer shows in the taskbar notification which account has new emails. When I woke up this morning (PC was on all night), I saw 39 (!) "new emails, but really there were only two

Agreed, 91.3.2 still hasn't fixed the basic problem which has persisted since 91.1.1. From my point of view, it would seem so simple to fix and it would improve the usability from a user point of view too.
