Well, I find both to be true. -- And that's just with myself.

I usually find that if I'm in "box maintenance" mode... where I'm trying to clean out messages primarily from the index screen... then I usually expect the count to update and the messages disappear. In that mode, I'm thinking "how many junk messages do I have left to filter out?" (i.e. "Are we there yet, Papa Smurf?!") when I hit delete each time.

But then, when I'm actually reading my mail messages more at an individual message-by-message level, I usually find that I prefer the count to be static, so that it acts more like a progress bar in my head.

*shrug* Although, that's just me... and I'm admittedly rather a bit of a weirdo in many ways. =)

Good point. Maybe a checkbox in preferences to have it work as you like...
