Hi Mark, I'm coming from Europe, where the charges for cell data roaming
still suck pretty hard. There's no way I'm going to pay for a transfer
of 1MB of data every now and then.

Please advise me on a way to better show information about the total
number of unread messages in a mailbox. I can't use STATUS on a SELECTed
mailbox, and I can't do anything when I see an EXPUNGE of a message for
which I haven't got flags before. Shall I decrement my unread count, or
not? To my knowledge, there's absolutely no way of doing that correctly
except knowing FLAGS of all messages in advance.

And yes, I really like the number on the left that shows me how many
unread messages are in there, nicely after each mailbox name.

Cheers,
Jan
