One problem that I see is that for IMAP atleast, it gives the number of 
headers downloaded. Its possible that some of the mail headers it got 
were headers of already read mail. e.g. Say you use 2 computers to check 
your IMAP mail. On one you see 2 new messages, read the mails, shutdown 
and go to the other computer. Mozilla will then download 2 new headers 
but the mails are already read. I get the mail notification sound and 
the icon in systray says 2 new messages. Open Inbox and there is 
actually no new (unread) message. This is a problem with biff in general 
I think.

Pratik.
