I'm using Thunderbird 17.0.8 and I have messages stored in folders and subfolders. If you browse a subfolder it may display 3 messages and down the bottom right corner it says Unread 0 Total 3. The next subfolder may have 6 messages and down the bottom right hand corner Unread 0 Total 6. This means that the folder these subfolders belongs to contains 9 messages, but if you browse the folder itself then the display is Unread 0 Total 0. There seems to be no way that you can get an aggregate of the total number of messages for a particular folder. This is needed if you make a backup copy to a local folder and want to compare the total number of messages in the IMAP folder with the total number of messages in the local copy.

I updated to 52.8.0 Same problem.I also tried other email browsers such as EM Client and Mailbird. Same problem. Maybe you just cannot get a count of messages at the folder level whatever program you use.

View (Alt-V) - Layout - Folder Pane Columns

This will give you the counters on a per folder basis. By collapsing a parent folder it will show the grand total of all folders underneath. This can be customized for unread and total no. of messages.
