An easy way to view message counts in Mail
Authored by: sjmills on Jul 17, '06 10:41:14AM

Exactly. It doesn't make sense to have a column that shows the number of items in the list. The Number column is just that, the message number. So if you have, say, 20 message in a mailbox/folder, but you've received and deleted thousands of messages, the newest messages will show an extremely high number, yet you only have 10 messages in the mailbox/folder. There's no way you can use that as the current message count. Therefore, this is not a hint and should be removed.
