The INBOX is just-a-folder, the number of unread appears next to folders - as messages are in folders.

I do not believe an unread-for-account exists.  Possibly you have only used mail in a personal mode of 
operation;  but an unread-for-account is nearly impossible in a general use-case.  That could require polling 
thousands of folders, and would be be only subscribed folders or 'all' folders [which can itself be a vague 
definition].   It seems something doable with POP/Local but problematic for IMAP.

No,  Evolution is pretty much Evolution.  Only the version varies.
so what's a problem for me might not be for someone

OK, I use several clients, and none do this.
