Does that script really return something for you?
I've ran it many times and it never gets the right number.
The only answer I get with Michelle's script is 0.

The problem I'm having is that I set up my mailboxes with rules so that incoming mail gets routed to an individual mailbox before it qualifies for the unread count.

I hardly every get an unread in my Inbox unless it's one like the one I'm replying to.

I think we'll have to arrive at some sort of composite script. Does the follow work on your setup?

set sum to 0

tell application "Mail"

set res to {}

set res to unread count of every mailbox

repeat with i in res

set sum to sum + i

end repeat

if (sum is 0) then

set alist to every account whose enabled is true

repeat with af in alist

set res to unread count of mailbox "INBOX" of af

end repeat

end if

sum

end tell
