New Flters not showing count

Version 10.53
Build 3374
Platform Win32
System Windows XP

Finally got around to tidying up my Received inbox by creating a bunch of new Filters. All the emails (I have multiple accounts BUT I always view "All accounts" in everything I do) are correctly filtered BUT the count of the emails in the Filter folder does not appear. (Others do but not all the new ones.)

To earlier ones are like this:

LazyDBA (1)

all the new ones have not (nnn) after them.

I have tried setting the "Mail Database Consistency Check Time" preference in opera:config#Mail to 0 (and restarted) but it doesn't work. Any help appreciated.

regards
Simon

Even if you mark a message in one of the filters as unread?

Ahhh... yes, now it shows something. My mistake, I thought is meant the number of emails filtered and not those unread.
I guess I can't have a total number rather than the number unread?
Thanks for your help.

When you click on the filter to open up its message list, look on the mail toolbar. It'll say (n unread, n total).

That's true but I normally visually scan the filters in the mail pane looking for mail. I also want to know how many. It would be nice to have (5 unread, 456 total) against each filter folder in the mail pane but I guess it ain't going to happen and I can live without it.
Thanks again for all your help.

Well, for now, try this:

Open up a message list, right-click on the mail toolbar and goto appearance. Then, drag the "(n unread, n total) button to the mail panel next to the search field for example. Then, as you switch filters/access point/views, it'll update accordingly. Also, in appearance, if you need to wrap something to the next line, goto buttons -> spaces and add a wrapper. You can use the wrapper so the (n unread, n total) button isn't on the same line as the search field (when it's short enough to not wrap on its own).
