One of my accounts was being moved to a new server in a way that would
not preserve the IMAP UIDs. Accordingly, I deleted the "mail source"
entirely. (Aside: that it's called "mail source" for deleting or
renaming, but "IMAP Mailbox" for adding is unfortunate.) I then added
the account anew, but of course with the same email address. That
worked, but...
Under "Sources", the recreated account shows four unread messages in
Inbox. That's correct, and corresponds to what I had before the
shuffling. However, in the unified Inbox, the sub-folder for that
account shows no counter, i.e., no unread messages. I have a smart
folder under "Inbox" for unseen messages; its subfolder for that account
also shows zero--but when I open that folder, I do see those four
messages. In other words, the smart folder knows which the four unread
messages are but doesn't know how to count them. Huh? The "Displayed
Count" setting for it, the parent "Unseen" folder, and the unified inbox
itself all say "Inherit"; the other folders under "Unseen" all display
the correct count of unread messages.
I've seen this on two different computers. On one of those two but not
the other, deleting the source deleting the corresponding folder under
Messages/IMAP; on the other, it did not. (I renamed it to get it out of
the way.)
