As long as I have used evolution, the number in parens after folder
names (real or search) as been useless as far as I could tell, as the
program has no way to know what I have read or not read when I move an
email to a different folder.  So after I posted years ago and nobody
cared, I learned to ignore that number.  I am just writing now to add
my vote for having the number in parens just be the number of items
in the folder, period.  Or at least that should be one option.
