Comment (by Maiku):

 I was poking at this the other day, and it seems that in order to make
 this work the best there needs to be a way to clear out all of the
 notification emails for a particular account, and also detect when a user
 closes the mail notification themselves.

 The idea is that each time mail is requested, it needs to be filtered by
 the last time the user closed the mail notification, whether that was
 since logging in or the user actually closing it. Then it returns the
 description of all of the unread messages since then, and it wouldn't just
 return a count of all unread messages you have in total. Then it would
 work like other protocols.

 Currently, there's no way to clear out all of the email notifications,
 except for adding zero messages. The other problem is that there's no way
 to tell when the user closed the notification. There is a callback to tell
 when the notification was removed, but that's called when you clear the
 messages programmatically as well.
