To the user wanting the unread count to work right check out this from a post over at lakeridge... Its more than what you looking for but you could setup additional icons for each mail account or just put a unread count for each account over the 1 mail icon as it links to all accounts.

1. Create a shortcut (wherever) to \windows\tmail.exe.
2. Modify that shortcut so that it reads"
"\windows\tmail.exe" -service "AccountName"
AccountName should be exactly as it show up in your Accounts list. (When you're in tmail, click menu, then "Go to" and use the name as you see it there. I'm using this trick for POP accounts - I'm not sure if this will work for "Outlook E-mail". For Text Messages, of course, you use "SMS" and for Multimedia messages you use "MMS".)

Once you have the shortcut, just specify the filename for the .LNK file (e.g. "\My Documents\gmail.lnk") as the command for your (WAD) shortcut.

You can use the same principles to create a Text Object (which can sit on top of the icon that takes you to that e-mail account) which will show the unread message count for that account. Just create a text object with
Object Type: Custom Text
Text to display: %Unread:AccountName% (as above) and
Tap Action: .LNK file as above

Tap & hold the text object and click "Bring to Front" then drag it over the shortcut icon you made above.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
