Just to get everyone on the same page: the number Geary is displaying is returned by the IMAP server. It represents unread messages in that folder only (not unread messages drawn into conversations in the folder). Geary is not generating this number because Geary doesn't necessarily have the entire mailstore downloaded to the local database.
Cassidy, I have seen the subjects of every message in my Inbox but Gmail continues to show an unread count beside my Inbox folder. I'm not sure what you're seeing different. Regarding Sent Mail, doing things like marking a conversation unread and then archiving it will mark a sent message as unread if it's in the conversation. It sounds like the suggestion here is to limit the places the unread count is shown to Inbox, Drafts, and Spam, in addition to the user's labels. That's entirely reasonable. I would also add the Outbox so the user knows when a message is sending. I would still keep the sidebar tooltip that displays the total and the unread counts for each folder regardless.
