How to get Thunder to read the number of emails in your Thunderbird Inbox:

Go to Thunderbird.
Press Number Key Pad 3 once.
Press Number Key Pad 4 twice.
Press Number Key Pad 2 once.

You should hear "Total number" read out aloud.

If you do not:
Thunderbird has many views. I'm on Version 2 and this works for me.
You have to be in the Inbox in the folder view. If you're not then the
number isn't shown.

I've never done any scripting, Kevin. I've played with it
occasionally, but none of the scripts are mine.
