This should be new with the sqlite backend. Its due to the fact that old
version use to count every time and we try to adjust everytime. Im
fixing mostly, AFAIK, there is just one issue pending in IMAP and
vfolder counts are still screwed up :(. Im working for it.

Unread-quick search and unread vfolders are still problematic. Im
working on this currently. I had a fix for unread vfolder, but that
doesn't seem to fix it for some people. So still working to find the
exact scenario.

I hope that I should resolve these before 2.24.2.
