If some argue that Kontact is bloated, I think this Wish could not make it:

-Add a column to sum unread messages in subfolders
It would then read, for instance:
/Work		2/5/10 - 2 new in /work, 5 new in subs, 10 total in /work
/Work/EU		2/1/12  - 3 new in ./EU, 1 new in sub, 12 un ./EU
/Work/EU/BE	1/0/18  - 1 new in ../BE, 0in subs, 18 total in ../BE
/Work/Asia	2/0/22  - 2 new in ./Asia, 0 subfolders, 22 in ./Asia

...That would not be nice on my 1024x768 resolution...

Alternatively, and then it's a matter of choice, the parent folder could:
-Be bold if Subs contain new message (Don't remember either from SuSE93)
..Probably the smartest, lightfooted option..
-New Column could display the sum of all new messages in tree.

I understand the concerns here, although I think the non-invasive PopUp is 
enough to point me where I need to check one out of 19 addresses landing 
here. I also have a catchall folder where all new gets duplicated, that's the 
last one I check when I suspect I may have missed something, filtered it bad 
or such: It avoids me crawling through all my folders (I have dozens).
