1: The number of mails in the selected folder is displayed in the title
box of the folder lists.  The individual folder shows the number of
unread messages. AFAIK there's no way of changing that.

2: Systray is for notifications, it's not there to minimise applications
to.  There is a Mail Notification plugin for Evo that (correctly) uses
the systray (and makes a noise, and does a popup).  Why would you want
to put a minimised an application into a notification area?  (And for a
much more lengthy discussion of this, see a recent thread in the list
archives.)

3: Evo is a good Gnome application and follows the system font sizes as
set by Gnome.
