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.
The meaning of ‘Inherit’ is unclear (but probably documented) - is
it inherit up or inherit down? I just set mine to what I want and ignore
Inherit.
