Despite this warning, this is EXACTLY what everybody uses STATUS for. So recent IMAP extensions have directly addressed this issue. You should upgrade to an IMAP server that supports LIST-STATUS (and/or mailbox stat caching) if you want to see much improved behavior. Or, the better solution, is to disable the option to allow a user to poll all mailboxes. THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA AND IS ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT WHAT THE USER WANTS. NO USER SHOULD BE POLLING *ALL* THEIR MAILBOXES.
I mostly agree with the latter remark, but when using server side filtering, I can imagine that people revert to this. It is a PITA that one has to add each folder where messages are filtered into to the list of folders that are checked for new mail.
It has happened to me several times already that after adding a new filter I forgot to do this and only after a while found out that lots of unread messages where filtered in folders that are not scanned for new messages.
