Enhancement Request - Summary:
Thunderbird enhancement suggestion by Christoph Jungling at UbuntuBugs #379015:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/379015

When you have a directory tree/hierarchy of mail subfolders, give the
top of the directory tree an indicator of how many unread messages are
in any of the subfolders. See attached drawing with the suggested
location of the new indicator (the "(239)" in red beside label of the
top of the folder tree). Also, for each folder containing sub-folders
with new emails should indicate the summarized number of unread mails in
its underlying folder hierarchy.

Similar to closed Mozilla Bug #235956 which is listed as closed/fixed
but that feature doesn’t appear to be present in current version.

Thanks
(on behalf of Christoph)

That attachment appears to show what I have when I enable the Menu bar
and enable View > Layout > Folder Pane Columns. That adds a Total column
to the Folder Pane.

The user may have to adjust column width.

It is in Thunderbird 52.x.x and 60.0.

Hi again Walt,
Based on your picture, in the Diane folder, is there one unread email and 72 
total emails (71 of them are already read)?

Do you have any folders that have subfolders that have unread emails in those 
subfolders?
 
In your picture, would that be "Verison" folder that has the "heart" symbol and 
the number 1? That's what I also get on my Ubuntu 18.04, TB 52.9.1.

The user is in a different language (German, I think) - does that make a 
difference?
And he does not get the number with the "heart" symbol beside the top folder of 
a collapsed set of subfolders.
See attached original screen print from user ( I will attach it next).

Thanks
G

The top folders children are visible,  so it gets no visible counts.  If
the folder is collapsed then counts are made visible
