...I actually don't have that many.

How do I fix this? I use IMAP and Mac Mail functions perfectly..except lately it shows a huge number at the top for the inbox amount.

Thanks!

Have you tried rebuilding your mailboxes (under Mailbox->Rebuild)?

Yes..it works for a minute..but then if I switch to another folder and then back to it it snaps back to the huge amount. I've tried rebuilding the inbox folder several times with the same result.

Yes, I've seen that as well. You could try vacuuming the sql lite database. In Terminal type:
sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum
