How can I display unread and total message counts in normal folder list?
Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to display a folder's unread and total message count in the normal interface? I want to visually scan the folder list and know how many messages (unread and total) each folder contains. I've found a few posts related to message counts, but the solutions didn't match my need.
If the answer is "no", then here's my feature request:

I also used some CSS in the classic interface to display persistently the number of messages in a folder. I've also been asking for the feature in the forums for several years in the new interface (which I'm otherwise extremely happy with). I have some very large folders that I need to clean out when they get to 50,000 messages, otherwise things start to break. Therefore, it would be helpful to see the number of messages without having to remember to occasionally hover over the folder. I think the Fastmail people think it's an edge case and atheistically unpleasing, so I think getting the option to turn on persistent message counts is a long shot to happen.

I use a custom css so the numbers are always visible. Try adding this to your css code:
/* Show message counts always */ .messageTotal {display:inline !important;} |

Thanks for the reminder about the custom css, Gsptlsnz. I looked in my tweaks.css file and see that .messageTotal entry already in my file.
That custom css entry:

That's where it is on my setup, but it works. This is at the top:

Can you confirm that the custom css snippet is working for you in the normal interface?
The .messageTotal custom css snippet is still not working for me in the normal interface. I have uploaded screenshots, one for "normal" one for "classic".

The custom.css does not work in the normal (ajax) interface, only in the classic interface.

Right, I use the "Classic" interface. Switch to that and your folder will show the amounts.

Thanks for the replies, BritTim and Gsptlsnz. So far, we've confirmed that the classic interface's support of custom css to display the folder message counts isn't supported by the normal (ajax) interface.
I'll switch back to the classic interface. |

It took me an hour to discover that I cannot use tweaks.css with the current interface. It worked fine with the classic theme, but that doesn't look as good as the standard theme.
It would be nice to be able to tweak the CSS of the FastMail webmail interface, but if that is too hard to do, I would be happy if at least there was an option to show plain text emails in monospace fonts. |

When using certain browsers, such as Chrome or Firefox, an extension called "Stylish" is available that can be used to tweak the appearance of frequently used sites. This is really the only way to get functionality similar to tweaks.css in the normal interface. |

Thanks!
I got Stylish to work with the classic interface but not with the current one. I was trying to make the compose textarea use a monospace font, but no matter what I tried, it still used Helvetica, etc. I played with the class select, added many domains, etc. I started with this one (which didn't work) and tried to fix it: https://userstyles.org/styles/100605...aintext-emails |

Greasemonkey / Tampermonkey solution
I was looking for the same thing as the original poster, and couldn't find a solution, so I made one.
Fastmail Folder Badge Controls lets you specify a list of folders to:
It's a Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey script that works in Firefox and Chrome. dreugan, I think it does exactly what you're looking for. Quote:
