Description

Expected behaviour

User may see how many new (unread) messages and total count (!) of messages are exists in the folder and/or mailbox. For example:

for mailbox (mailbox list):
GmailBox 15 / 256

for folders (folder list):
Inbox 5 / 15
Sent 3
Trash 21
Drafts 1

Actual behaviour

There are no total counters (only unread counters are available) for folders and/or mailbox. I cannot see amount of messages inside folder list or mailbox list.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Just try to see mailbox list or folder list.
Environment

K-9 Mail version: 5.0.10

Android version: 6.0.1

Account type (IMAP, POP3, WebDAV/Exchange): POP3

Research direction

Start by locating the mailbox list and folder list screens and tracing how their existing unread counters are populated. Determine where total message counts are available for POP3 accounts, then make both lists display unread and total counts while preserving the current unread-only display where appropriate.
