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?

Ironman, hope you're still tracking this thread. I posted about how I was using MailTags, Dockstar, and Mail Act-On to implement a tickler file system. Sounds like it might be just what you're after.

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. »
