One possible solution (that I believe Gmail might do) is to not shoe
badges for all unread messages, but only for “unseen” ones—that is,
unread messages you haven’t seen the subjects of. So if my Inbox has 112
new mails, and I skim through the list seeing if anything looks urgent,
those messages have been “seen” but not read. I know they exist, so I
probably don’t need a badge showing me they exist.

I also agree with Dan that showing unread messages in my Sent folder is
confusing, but that might be a different issue.
