total and unread in Thunderbird

When thunderbird 2.0 came out, one of the things I soon noticed was that in the folder pane, only the number of unread messages was visible and there was no way to see also the number of total messages for each folder. That's one of the things I missed most...

Well, actually it's quite easy to have this feature back: you only need to enable "expanded columns in folder pane" in the "Advanced" tab preference, as shown in the following picture. Then, you'll be able to show also the "total" in the folder pane. Hope this helps :-)
