Its also pretty badly defined (the only requirement is that it is returned
for 'interesting' mailboxes, but 'interesting' is never defined in a
solid way, only a suggestion is given).
I believe that pine will report it. There may be other clients that
report it. Any client that requires its use, however, is broken.
Actually, now that I notice it, \Unmarked is not the inverse of \Marked.
\Marked
The mailbox has been marked "interesting" by the server; the
mailbox probably contains messages that have been added since
the last time the mailbox was selected.
\Unmarked
The mailbox does not contain any additional messages since the
last time the mailbox was selected.
So (to use Larry's example from a while back), if my server defines
'interesting' to mean "This folder has a message that contains the word
'penguins'.", then \Marked and \Unmarked have distinct and
unrelated meanings.
