Close, but no cigar.

The .tbb file also contains copies of the message flags. Removing the
.tbi file and then refocussing on the account will allow TB to sort
things out, though, and reset the flags to a best guess.

To see things otherwise, delete all the files from a message folder,
then move the focus to another folder. Delete the .tbi file in that
folder and then set the .tbb file to read-only. When you move the
focus back to that folder you'll see a momentary flash as TB recreates
the index file and finds the deleted messages Then the number goes
back to zero when TB discovers it can't reset the flags in the .tbb
file.

Did I mention backing things up before attempting anything like this?
