I'll have to try that.  Basically, I want VM to show me the count of
Un-read (which I guess maps to UNSEEN) instead of RECENT, esp since I
have mutltiple clients.  Looking more closely at the RFC3501 flags
section, I now understand the \Recent flag better.

So I guess what I want is \Unseen  (or more accuraltely !\Seen).

This might be a useful change to make for VM, so that you can choose
what version you want.
