K-9's interaction with the gmail server is somewhat problematic, especially in terms of counting the number of unread emails. In general, the number shown in K-9 is (I believe) based on the number of unread emails on the gmail server, not the number of unread emails that are displayed on the phone. Depending on the synchronization choices for K-9 and the folders that are displayed/synched/etc., the numbers will be incorrect.
