Hi,

Just for my upended worth. My implementation will never return either
/Marked or /Unmarked.

This is because when I was testing with multiple concurrent connected
clients (as I like to work) it screwed up the new message counts. I want
to have 2+ client open at once (I have 4 PC's in different locations) I
want to be able to see new mail on all of them without having to choose
which one should take priority or have any of them ignore a mailbox just
because I last looked at a folder with a different client.

If the definition of the protocol tells a client that it can ignore a
mailbox simply because a different client saw the mailbox then there is
a problem with the protocol.

This also has a knock on requirement.

It would be nice if there were a way to monitor a none selected mailbox
for flag changes and message arrivals.

Say for example I have two accounts, richard & support. They are both
open in my mail client. I can only see new messages arriving in one of
them in real time. The client must poll the other mailbox to see any
changes.

A new command set MONITOR and UNMONITOR would solve this as it would
allow my client to be notified of any mailbox it were interested in.

I realise these don't really apply to something like pine, but to be
honest if I had to use pine as my mail client I would probably give up
using email :-)
