@mjtsai rebuild spotlight index my only helpful response in such cases.
Flagged mailbox in 10.12 Apple Mail: number in sidebar shows 2 messages, 5 messages actually shown, 3 of them actually flagged.

@catlan Now it’s showing the right messages, but the sidebar count is wrong. I think that may be in Mail’s database rather than Spotlight. - View other replies

@smorr My sympathies.

@mjtsai Sounds about right. Because using spotlight for mail searches makes so much more sense than, say, an existing sqlite3 database. -
@smorr Yep. BTW, from stack traces, it looks like Mail is now using an iOS-like SPI to indexing with Spotlight directly? -
@mjtsai Yes -- I think they are but can't confirm that 100%

@mjtsai mail is infamous for being unable to count properly. It's like they use separate sources of data for each item.
