Counting emails in an inbox

[GKern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have a few users who fail to manage the contents of their inbox. To 
remedy this I want to educate them about reducing the number of emails 
kept in the inbox and suggest that at all times they should never have 
more than x number of documents in their inbox.

So in my mail file I marked all the email as unread. The results show that 
I have 110 (in parentheses) unread emails in my inbox when in reality I 
have four emails in my inbox. Why would this number be so far off from the 
correct number of documents in my inbox?

Or how can I instruct my users to determine themselves (accurately) how 
many emails they have in their inbox? (My thought was to have them flag 
everything as unread - but my test (described above) didn't provide an 
accurate count.
