unread mail count wrong

I am using Apple's mail program, version 5.0. My unread mail count in the IN box show's an unread mail, but there is none. In the past when this has happened, I had been able to rebuild each mail box and the problem went away. That's not happening this time.

I made a smart mailbox and told all unread mail to go to it. Nothing did. I have checked each and every mail folder I have and rebuilt each one. I still have the one unread mail in my mailbox.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? This just happened since upgrading to Lion. I know it's not a BIG problem, it just bothers me.

Thanks very much! I had the same problem and your fix solved my problem.

I did have to do the additional work to make ~/Library visible, and to notice the change of names of the intermediate directory to "V2". Those aspects are mentioned later in this thread, but re-discovered by me in the process of doing what you said.
