Windows 10 Mail Unread Count
Windows has an interesting features that tracks the number of unread messages you have across your email accounts and displays it as you login to Windows. The problem is that this number can wind up wrong if you install and uninstall an email client that doesn't clean up after itself, have an email client crash or PC crash or other reasons. Resetting it back to zero is rather simple for an advanced user (just edit a couple registry keys) but for a normal user, it's not an easy task. So, I created this simple tool to reset unread mail counts.
Make your unread emails stand out in the Outlook Inbox. If you find the default appearance of unread mail too subtle, you can customise the colours and fonts used to make unread mail really stand out in your inbox. Here’s how to do it: 1. Select the View tab, then View settings. Click the Conditional Formatting button.
In Mail, on the File menu, point to New, and then click Search Folder. Tip: You can also open the New Search Folder dialog box by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+P. In the Reading Mail section, click Unread Mail. The unread email count badge does not seem to work in Windows 10 (turned on in Preferences General Notifications Show badge on the app icon - 'Show unread count'). Tried to change the preferences and quit/relaunch Mailspring multiple times to no result. Is this supposed to work in Windows 10? The default Mail app has working badge. Many users have hundreds if not thousands of unread emails in their inbox. When you add the email account that has this many unread emails on your iPhone or iPad the device starts showing a badge on the mail app’s icon constantly reminding you how bad you are at reading or deleting unnecessary emails.

Installation / Files
Simply download ResetUnreadMailCounts.exe to your computer and run it by double-clicking on it. It will confirm that you want to reset the unread email counts and then take care of it for you. That's all there is to it.
Hi,
Just want to make sure I'm understanding your question...so when you are running Mail and some of it is unread yet, you don't see the blue dot that denotes the message is unread? And when you exit Mail and start it back up, you do see the blue dots next to the messages?
And when you move a message to a folder (do you drag it there or use the menu command 'Message/Move to' or ??? and when you do move a message, then another application gets activated similar to when you might do a Command+tab type operation? (not sure what you mean by 'using Mail act on to move messages' - is this a typo or ???)
Have you done anything like create some custom keyboard shortcuts or use a third-party keyboard shortcut utility that might be intercepting the Mail commands?
