This is the way is has always been and it's basically by design since a MBX type folder was never intended to be anything other than a means of move mail to and from UNIX type systems and Pegasus Mail.  Since the new foldering system of v5.x is going to be very different than that of v2.0 type folders this will probably change significantly.

I've noticed that, for Unix folders, the total numbers of all messages and unread messages in Folders view are misreported until the folder has been opened.
The total number includes deleted messages (so it is correct if there are no deleted messages) and the number of unreads is shown as zero.
Those values are corrected as soon as the folder is opened.
Should this be reported as a bug?
