Cone does not show the number of messages in an mbox folder.  Cone shows 
number of messages in maildirs, and most IMAp servers.  This is explained in 
the online help:

This is not a maildir, as far as Cone is concerned.  You have configured 
this mail account as mbox folders, not maildirs.

You have apparently installed non-standard maildirs under $HOME/Mail.  This 
is not a standard location for maildirs.  This is a standard location for 
mbox mail folders, not maildirs, so this is configured as such.
