This is basic functionality. I shouldn't have to go out of my way and do anything special to tell my mail client to update the unread message count. It should just happen.

If you KNOW, UNDERSTAND, what IMAP is, you should know, that the mailbox's info should be read to get the correct info. So, setup automatic checking of mailboxes.
Again, basic functionality. I shouldn't have to tinker around with various options to make my mail client check for new mail. It should just happen.

I buy a car. I check the tire pressure and make sure the gas tank is full (with my mail client I give it IMAP/SMTP server names, usernames, passwords). I can then start the engine and reasonably expect to drive to my destination.
If I bought a car and was required to open the hood and modify tubes, levers, and gadgets in the engine before I could drive the car to my destination, I would return to the place where I bought the car and tell them it doesn't work and I want my money back.
I DID download Mulberry and tried. Man, that has a lot of settings also.
It sure does! However, after I installed Mulberry, I set up my accounts, and then before I looked at *anything else* in the preferences and options, I was informed of my unread messages and was able to read the (correct) messages as I selected them. In fact this has been the case with *every* IMAP-capable client I've tried, except TB.
My gripe isn't that TB is incapable of providing basic functionality. My gripe is that it won't provide that functionality until I've fussed around trying to figure out which magical combination of checkboxes need to be selected in order to *force* it to provide basic functionality.
