I do believe this is reasonably > well known when it comes to cell phones but can't say for sure. K-9 for Android does this as well; but it is inaccurate, or at least incomplete. It only checks some folders. Mostly it just reflects the INBOX. > Outlook 2013 - Not next to the account name but in a summary on the > right instead.

Personally it seems showing the unread count from the INBOX next to the account seems pretty reasonable to me; I feel the all-folders aspect is unreasonable. What I have done in the past is to simply create a virtual-INBOX of the folders I care to monitor.
