I also agree... bolding it is distracting and rather annoying.=20
Personally I don't care one way or another about putting the count there
(I can't remember ever caring how many messages I had sent), but don't
bold it.

Why put it there anyway?  Unless you start putting a count on ALL the
folders with a "(new/total)" sort of thing, it's not consistent to
display any count at all.

In any case, FWIW, the count is not even accurate for me.  It currently
says (207) but when I open the folder it says "202 sent".  If I un-hide
deleted messages, it says "207 sent" so obviously the folder-bar display
is counting deleted, sent messages... which is again inconsistent with
the expected meaning of the count WRT other folders.
