I have quite a few levels of directories below my ~/mail directory.
For some reason when I navigate through some of them the numbers of
messages are displayed whereas in others they aren't.
Here is my Ju (junk) folder as displayed in mutt:-
-- Mutt: Directory [Ju], File mask: !^\.[^.]
-> ../
canals/
digikam/
dokuwiki/
leafnode/
postponed/
rsync/
xfce/
... and here is my In (inboxes) folder:-
-- Mutt: Directory [In], File mask: !^\.[^.]
-> ../
cl/ 19 0
default/ 85 2
freegle/ 4 0
inbox/ 30 0
odin/ 3 0
tinnews/ 0 0
... and here are (some of) their contents:-
chris@esprimo$ cd ~/mail/In
/home/chris/mail/In
chris@esprimo$ ls -l

I don't understand why I'm not seeing message counts in the Ju folder.
There are similar 'some work, some don't work' folders elsewhere in my
mail folders.
