the only problem seems to be that the count keeps increasing as i move
the articles in to INBOX.

so possibly what i should be doing is
 
1. moving things into a temporary group
2. emptying my existing INBOX
3. moving everything from the temporary group back into the INBOX

or is there a better way?
