I’m in the same camp. Unread vs read is all I need. Also it’s funny when I’m with someone from the “inbox zero” camp and they get stressed seeing my 6-figure inbox count.

I was inbox-only since GMail was in beta, and received tons of email notifications and extraneous mail over that 20 year period that didn't get read.

My inbox was at about 100k _unread_ emails with about 280k total.

I am happy to say I am now at inbox-zero (ish).

Impressive. I've also been using gmail since beta. I'm only at 27,980 unread.
