Mail.app - smart folder/flagged message count?

Russell | Jan 4 2007

I started looking for this and so far no dice...

Is there a way to have a count of the messages in a Smart Folder?
Just the message count, flagged or not, read or not.
Just a pure message count.
Like what Outlook does with its Search Folders, you can check a box that displays the message count.

It would be nice if beside the Smart Folder it would display the number of messages in it.

Any ways to do this?

Not as far as I know. I used to rely on a bug in Mail that read flagged messages as unread in Smart Mailboxes, but that was fixed a couple updates ago.

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. »
