What MM reports as the \Recent count for a mailbox and what you see as
the \Recent count on a subsequent manual session can never match
(except by random chance) if the server implements \Recent correctly.
This is why \Recent is useless. Once a session has seen a message as
having \Recent set,
It could easily be an issue with my IMAP server or a bug in MailMate.
My IMAP server always reports 0 RECENT to me when I manually telnet in
an select, but MailMate consistently reports a high count. Perhaps
MailMate noted the RECENT count when it first synched and then keeps
displaying the same count forever. In playing with it, I can get it to
show a count of 0 by selecting all messages and marking them as seen.
But regardless of which software is not handling \Recent correctly, it
is a useless value to display for the mailbox count.
