I am still maintaining a private patch that does this for IMAP mailboxes. 
If the IMAP server is local, as in my setup, this is very much possible and 
feasible.
Since almost all my mailboxes are on IMAP, I never checked into doing this 
for local mailboxes.
Also, an attempt to rework the patch for Balsa 2 resulted in something that 
will apply cleanly, but will not work. I haven't had the time to figure out 
why and there was no need because Balsa 2 is unusable for me.
Unless and until it's use of screen real estate gets much more efficient, I 
can't use it.
We've had this before, the main issue is the vertical spacing in the 
mailbox tree. I need to have all my mailboxes displayed, without a 
scrollbar. With Balsa 2, that is impossible because 6 pixels per line are 
wasted.
Since the patch adds to a function used to walk the tree at startup, it 
could quite easily be disabled by a pref. The pref should, IMHO, be in the 
mailbox properties, so it can be set on a per server basis for local 
servers and be cleared for remote servers. The sensible default would be 
clear.

One issue with my patch: when a mailbox is added or deleted, the counts for 
all mailboxes will vanish. This seems to be a general problem not related 
to the patch, only since the patch makes the counts display, it becomes 
more obvious with it applied.
I never bothered to fix it because adding a mailbox is an infrequent action.

I am attaching the patch for whoever may find it useful, it should apply to 
current 1.4.x CVS.
