How can I get the thread count to show up in the sidebar NOT the email count.
I am very, very NOT interested in the number of emails I have unread or saved in a folder but rather the number of threads. How can I achieve this?

If I select all messages in a folder (Ctrl+A), at the top of the Message Pane it displays NN Conversations. Is that the same as the number of threads?
I have Thunderbird Conversations installed so maybe that's why I don't see what you are seeing, BUT that's not what I mean (I don't think). I'm talking about the sidebar with the inbox and my various folders I've created. Next to each folder I can show number, number unread, and size (disk space) for each folder. BUT, those numbers are the total number of emails and I want to see the total number of threads. That way, at a glance, I can see how many conversations are in each folder including one's that have unread emails in them.

The method I suggested is built into TB, and I don't use the Conversations add-on. There is a topic that discusses this on mozillazine (currently not available). View the cached page.
Well that looks like it does indeed discuss my issue (but doesn't seem to have a satisfactory resolution). I'll see if I can pull something together from that. Or more likely I will just live with it. :)
I have created an enhancement request in bugzilla to see if anyone considers this something that could be developed.
