Description
Expected behaviour
The unread count shall only count unread messages in certain folder
Actual behaviour
Unread counts all unread messages in all folders even trash and spam
Steps to reproduce
- Have two unread messages in the inbox - then unread is 2
- Delete one without reading it - so 1 unread in inbox and on trash - then unread is still 2
- An email that is treated as SPAM arrives - then unread is 3
Environment
K-9 Mail version: 5.010
Android version:6.0.1
Account type (IMAP, POP3, WebDAV/Exchange): IMAP and POP3

Research direction
Start by reproducing the unread-count behavior with IMAP and POP3 accounts using inbox, trash, and spam folders as described. Determine which folders should be excluded and where unread totals are calculated; done means excluded-folder messages no longer affect the displayed unread count while included-folder messages still do.
