{{{

4< * 223258 EXISTS
Handling EXISTS
cmd_handle_untagged: New mail in INBOX - 223258 messages total.
4< * 205 RECENT

but mutt says New:4
which are the 4 messages which arrived while mutt was running i.e., not
including the 205 which arrived since mutt had last viewed the inbox.
I am not using the header cache, and this is against a cyrus imap server.
Using today's (1st July) mercurial source.

Comment:
I believe this bug has been fixed by [a51df78218e8] in which the
$mail_check_recent option controls whether or not we use UNSEEN or RECENT
to report the number of new messages in the mailbox.
