Folder count in Mail.app

Ok, new question.

I have a few GTD folders created in mail.app - Action, Respond, and Hold - and what I notice is sometimes something in these folders gets ignored simply because I forget it's in there and don't think to check. Is there a way (or a plug-in) to have a folder display the number of messages in it, even if they are marked read? This way I would always know at a glance - oh, I have two messages that need to be responded to.

Thanks!

It's too bad there isn't a simple way to do this. It's one of my favorite features of outlook at work.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
