Huh.  Well, I first downloaded source via Mercurial:

     hg clone http://dev.mutt.org/hg/mutt

and built with

    ./prepare --enable-imap --with-ssl --prefix=$HOME/mutt

That version shows the counts, but then they disappear after viewing
again.  Now, I'm not entirely clear that it's picking up any my system
config since the colors are not what I normally see -- so maybe that
might be effecting thing.

I then grabbed the Debian source form a machine I'm running and it
looks like all debian patches are applies:

    $ apt-get source mutt
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Need to get 3633kB of source archives.
    Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main mutt 1.5.16-3 (dsc) [960B]
    Get:2 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main mutt 1.5.16-3 (tar) [3535kB]
    Get:3 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main mutt 1.5.16-3 (diff) [97.0kB]

    dpkg-source: unpacking mutt_1.5.16.orig.tar.gz
    dpkg-source: applying ./mutt_1.5.16-3.diff.gz

and then built with:

    ./configure --enable-imap --with-ssl --prefix=$HOME/mutt
    make install

but there the counts were *never* shown.  So, I'm a bit baffled
considering that the debian/changelog does indeed have the message you
quoted above.

What else can I try?

Should I post to mutt-dev list?
