Assuem I have a big (imported) mbox dir tree in one of my accounts.
The folders on the left ide do not show how many unread message they contain.
Ok, I could click on each of them and after the folder name appears the number like
events (14)
Since I have over 300 folders this manually update is rather uncomfortable.
How can I tell Thunderbird to auto-re-scan a whole msg dir tree (or even better a whole account), and index the containing messages and show for each (sub) folder the unread messages?

Re: Scanning whole msg dir tree and show unread messages as
Click on the weird looking small widget at the right end of the column headers for the folder pane, and select "unread" from the list box. That will add a unread column. That widget looks just like the same one at the right end of the column headers for the folder listing, just above the vertical scroll bar.
