So gut the X app and turn it into a console-based one. The trick for
identifying which messages are new won't be X-specific after all.
Alternatively I've found I like maildirs. They're a little more work,
but identifying new messages is just a case of
(ls Maildir/new ; ls Maildir/cur | grep -v ':2,[A-R]?*S[T-Z]?$' ) | wc -l
And identifying which folders have new stuff is just when
Maildir/{cur,new}/ was modified later than Maildir/
