you can kmail->apperance->systemtray->show unread in taskbar

you can disable counting in specific folder -> on each folder you can disable it "see folder right click -> property -> general -> act on new/unread mail in this folder"

@Laurent:

@comment 1:  the systray is not what i addressed here .. i addressed the messagecount in the tasklist (windows list) .. the setting you mentioned does not affect this.

@comment 2:  i did what you mentioned, walking through all 200 Folders deactivation the actions (taking actions is preset in kmail), and its close to well , still sometime showing the countsum of all folders eventually , sometimes not ( at a 50:50 ration )

.. 

so if i would find myself satisfied here , there still be many people who may find the above way overkill , specially if the is not option to disable this feature at all.

I also dont agree that this is "Resolved Fixed" .. it more like "Reported Wontfix" aint it ?

So I understand correctly your previous comment.

You can disable number of unread element in tasklist

Nope it's resolved for sure.

it turned out not to be a kmail-issue but a kontact-issue in combination with akregator .. for there is no option in akregator to disable unread-message-indicator in kdewindow-list (called Fensterleiste in german), the shown numbers are sum-ups of unread akregator-messages and unread kmail-messages (with also cannot be disabled in general) 

FYI
