Hi Jack,

balsa saves the last seen total and unread counts in
src/save-restore.c:config_save_mailbox_view. It saves the last mod time
too, to refresh the counts if needed. It seems that in your case, it has
shown stale data read from config, instead of refreshing it correctly from
the actual mailbox data. I admit I haven't verified the sequence of events
that would lead to this behaviour.
