I use tags a lot (important, information, to do) and would like to display in the list of folders the number that are tagged (with any tag!) in each folder. Just how it does for unread it would be great to do this for number of tagged emails in any folder. Is this possible with a plug-in or hopefully via the config? Thanks, Paul

It's kind of a sledgehammer approach, but the number of tags, by type, per folder, can be viewed with this add-on:

thank you @sfhowes - this add on, as you say, has way more functionality than needed, and it does as an analysis exercise giving a bar chart of the number of tagged emails in whichever folder you choose. Brilliant/Impressive (see image below) but not like the "immediately" available / always on feedback that we have in the folder pane for unread emails. So - will have to search further for a way to just put the number of tagged emails alongside the folder name for example 

   Inbox (3 tagged)
       Apple (2 tagged)
          Pear (10 tagged)
            Orange (5 tagged)

thank you, Paul
