Chris and Alan, Regarding using IMAP for the new message check, how would you make it include the number of new messages in subfolders, which are there from the result of mailbox rules? The method below shows only the new messages in the Inbox (main) folder. IIRC, that was the thing that kept us from using IMAP in our You've Got IMail product. I'm sure it can probably be done, by recursing through the list of folders and checking each one, but some users have a whole bunch of 'em, and that would be a lengthy conversation as compared to one quick http get.
