Who has the most unread items?

Mail can have multiple accounts which would allow it to go over 200 and if I recall even if there aren't unread items on the iPhone if the IMAP mailbox contains unread items then they are still displayed.
I just went through and marked everything as read. It was neat to watch the counter go up and down as I made changes on the server. That's only from the two accounts that I sync to mail.app on my computer, though. I have to get my work email through the browser so the number could have been higher.

I don't cheat. You do. Therefore, I still declare victory until a legitimate competitor shows him or herself.Except for the obligatory lame doctored photos.
Haha. I know that Apple tests the iPhone Mail into the 10k range. How many emails did you actually have loaded on your iPhone?
Anyone have a decent amount of SMS?

GEEZUZ. I thought that was real for a second.
Lol. Well, I don't know how far I can get mine.
I probably have 10k mail, which I can easily mark all as unread.
Ha ha! Nice.
I'm super anal about unread messages for some reason. I just hate seeing that indicator.
I've had -1 on an App also. The SMS app. Darn iRealSMS f***ing everything up... Had to delete ALL of my SMSs... That'll teach me to want a decent SMS app that has the capabilities the stock SMS app should've come with in the first place.
I go nuts having the red indicator on any of my Apps. I love the feature itself, letting you know something's new, and it's quite effective at getting e to read my email or update Apps. It just bugs me wen it's on my beautiful home screen...
I marked all of my emails as unread in mail.app on my computer. Then they became unread on the phone. Since you have to manually download them in groups of 50, I just wanted to get over 1000, but my inbox itself had about 8500 unread messages and that was displayed on the badge on the mac.
I wonder... if you had so many unread emails, like in the 100m range, would it push the app icon next to Mail over? Lol
Well, I don't exactly have to fetch 650 old emails on a daily basis. That was a one time thing.
I've seen a picture of Mail for Leopard being tested with over 100k unread items on the badge (they found a bug with the text rendering).
I think the -1 from Facebook deserves some sort of prize!
Its because he has BackGrounder running from Cydia. It happens to me to sometimes. I hate having un-read mail in my mail accounts, so I read through them!
