How to know what many messages are in a folder

[tbegley]

The folder tree shows show how many UNREAD messages are in a folder...is there a way to see how many total messages are in a folder?

No, there isn't unless you use an IMAP client such as Thunderbird. Just for my own interest, why would the number of messages be of any use?

[tbegley]

We are doing some performance testing with thousands of messages in one folder. Just didn't know if there was a quick way from the GUI to see how many total messages were in a folder.

In 5.0, hovering over a folder will show you the number of messages in the folder and their total size.
