Red Badge for new incoming mails
Closes #953 (closed)
What does this MR do?
Displays the number of unread mails as a red badge like it is done with bells and messages.
That count is fetched using a new api endpoint api/emails/unread-count
after the page finished loading.
Currently the badge doesn't update when reading a mail or when you receive a mail, but only if you refresh the page. I don't really know, if I should put in the time to change that, since it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Not even the vue component listing the mailboxes updates after reading a mail. For now I think we could leave this implementation as is and create a new issue for updating unread mail badge and the mailbox list.
How confident are you it won't break things if deployed?
Confident, I am however not 100% certain the runtime is reasonable. I do believe however it should go easier on the server than many other of our requests
