If you create a saved search folder using the "entire message" quicksearch
field, that saved search folder will not update properly. The folder unread
count does not update when new messages come in and it does not update when
unread messages are marked as read (even from within the saved search folder.)

Steps to reproduce: 

1. focus the quicksearch field, select "entire message", and and type in the
letter "a". 
2. if this gives results, then save that as a search folder. if no results, your
mailbox must be empty :-)
3. enter the saved search folder and mark some messages as unread and then as read. 
4. enter your inbox and mark some messages as read and then unread. 
5. wait for new unread mail to arrive.

results: the saved search folder does not update unread mail count until you
leave it and reselect it, even in the case that you marked the messages read
within the saved search folder. 

expected results: the unread message count should reflect reality as best as it
can and hopefully better than it is now.

additional info: this is the case whether you have selected to search online or not.

Scott, this is the bug I was just talking to you about. Turns out there was a report on this issue :-)

Yeah. This worked for me on the trunk. I'm back on the branch right now so I'd be thrilled to verify it there too.
yeah, I'll put this on the branch
