| allow_popups                  | Set to `true` to allow popup windows for the service.                                                                                        | no       |

## Setting the unread count

While there is also a way to set the unread count by adding `(COUNT)` to the window title, this describes the preferred way of doing it:

First set `dont_update_unread_from_title` in the service config to `true`.

Code provided by `js_unread` will be injected into the service website.
You can retrieve the unread count in this JavaScript code e.g. by parsing elements.
Set the unread count by calling `rambox.setUnreadCount(COUNT)` or clear it by calling `rambox.clearUnreadCount()`.
