It's showing how many emails in the just-opened folder have been retrieved 
from Akonadi and sorted into threads.

During the process emails are constantly being fetched from Akonadi, and 
because KMail uses only one "channel" to talk to Akonadi, it can't send your 
request to mark an email as read until all messages are fetched and the 
channel is free again.

I don't think there's anything we can do about it at this point, but in future 
we would like to make Akonadi and KMail smarter, so that they only fetch the 
emails you can see on the screen and then fetch more on demand as you scroll 
down. This will solve your problem, as well as many other performance and 
memory issues :-)

Cheers,
Dan
