the current imap code is only issuing a STATUS command for the folders to find out unread counts (which is what I presume you are referring to here). if we were to filter it, we'd have to SELECT the folder first, request new message headers/flags/etc to build a summary (we'd also have to request flags for all already known messages) and then, for each message marked with a \Recent flag, we'd have to download the message(s) and pass them off to the filtering code. that should give you some idea of the performance problems...
