Official web clients enhancement: show total/unread mail count on folders

[vladimiry]

Since the initial implementation of major core functionality has already been released, like local database and full-text search, I think I can consider enabling some minor enhancements and maybe something fancy in general.

I believe that might be possible to monkey patch the official web clients in order to show the total/unread mail count on folders. So issue like this one tutao/tutanota#234 would be resolved independently of the official repository. The feature will require local store option to be enabled for account so the monkey pathing logic could reactively derive the values from the local database.

The bad part is that it would require doing monkey patching. But since the app goes with built-in web clients (#79, #80), I believe there will be a way to support web clients updates and guarantee a certain level of stability at the same time.

Task gets low priority since it's already possible to see total/unread mail count on folders in database view mode for both ProtonMail / Tutanota.

I just noticed that Tutanota dev team is going to officially support such feature. Closing this issue in favor of upcoming official support and given the fact that the app already supports counters on folders in database view mode.
