In Thunderbird:
  Options | Advanced
   [x] Show expanded columns in the folder pane

Set the above option.  At the top of the folder tree, there is now a column header, "Name", and next to it is a column selector button.  Click that button, a little menu drops down.  Select "Total" from that menu.

Now there is a new column, with the total number of messages in the folder.  The parenthesized value will still be shown, giving the number of unread messages.

Is this sufficient?  If so, please mark this bug:   Resolved: Invalid
