Gmail::Mailbox#count

This is a convenience method that really probably shouldn't need to exist,
but it does make code more readable, if seriously all you want is the count
of messages.

==== Examples

  gmail.inbox.count(:all)
  gmail.inbox.count(:unread, :from => "[email protected]")
  gmail.mailbox("Test").count(:all, :after => Time.now-(20*24*3600))
