I don't recall if any of the pst tools will show message count in the
manner I think you want. Kernal tools does, but it might be more of
a 'we recovered x # of items' - see
http://www.slipstick.com/problems/repair2gbpst.asp for a link to it.
Sherpasoftware.com has pst management tools but I don't think they
count messages.

you can also do it using VBA - see
http://www.vboffice.net/sample.html?...item&lang=e n
for a code sample of how to walk the folders.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/171603/en-us counts unread messages.

But those solutions open the file and not opening the file was an initial
criterion.
