Unread message count incorrect.

When I select under preferences to show all mailbox unread counts, the reading is showing 9 more than it actually is. I only have 3 unread messages in all my boxes (and yes I clicked on every one to check), and I have even rebuilt all my inboxes.

I'm left at wits ends. I know for a fact I'm not just missing some mail somewhere, I have to believe something is off...

Thanks. Solution worked like a charm.

Sterling solution.
Didn't need to delete any "unread" messages - after clicking on them in the Smart Mailbox, their status changed to "Read", and they cleared out from the mailbox upon the next action.

Thanks a ton... Tony

This problem only manifested itself after I installed Intego Personal Antispam.
Anybody else know what triggered their manifestation of this problem?

The problem was fixed by me, well it wasn't really a problem but I trashed a RSS feed and it still had some unread messages in it. Be sure to empty the trash can and see if this fixes the icon in the dock showing the incorrect number of unread mail messages.

This is a great fix. Apple should include it in their knowledgebase or something
