I know others have reported problems with Mail's unread message count, but I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing this particular glitch where the badge app icon is inaccurate even though the unread count displayed by the mailboxes is correct.

What's even more peculiar is that if I mark a message as read, the number in the app icon increases, and if I mark a message as unread it decreases (in other words, the exact opposite of what should happen). I can replicate this at any time by marking messages read or unread.

Bumping this up because it's still an issue for me and I'm sure it must be happening to others... long story short is that I have to quit Mail and reopen in order to get rid of the unread message count on the dock icon.
