Nothing files but just empty cur, new and tmp folders.

I thought Drafts would be an exception and just show a count of how many in 
there because for me its not important to know if its read/unread.

Thanks, forgot about the extra columns you could have. Sizing the column to 
suit is not great, you have to have it quite wide because if you try to shrink 
the width to just get the heading "Total" the counts are lost
