Can you help me with my sum of counts query?

I'm trying to get the sum of spam folders and where they are quarantined by user. Is there a better way to do this, especially since the number of folders to count may start to grow. (also the below eval(count(x) + count(y)) doesn't work)

| chart eval(count(inbound_phish) +  count(inbound_spam_definite)  ) AS "Quarantine1", 
 eval(  count(inbound_bulk) + count(inbound_bulk_50)) As "Quarantine2",  count(recipient) by recipient
