uhm... I said I DO understand :-)
and thus I handle my mail before going to bed, then quit PM (= no recent
mail then).

That is of course, a definition of 'recent' imposed by the developers.
In my real-world workflow, whether I deem a piece of mail to be 'recent'
or not is something unrelated to how many times I quit or launch my
email client -- it is to do with (amongst other things) the length of
time elapsed since the message was received.
The RMW collates all of my received mail into one place, which is useful
since most of my mail gets automatically filtered into folders as it
arrives. Hunting through hundreds of nested folders looking for 'bolded'
folders and opening them to look at the mail is unnecessarily
convoluted, which is why I rely on the RMW.
Having that collation wiped between restarts is incredibly unhelpful to
me, regardless of whether it conforms to CTM's view of what constitutes
'recent' mail.
Of course others may feel differently, which is why I would suggest
adding a checkbox in preferences to let the user decide whether the RMW
gets cleared out at quit.
Other solutions would include: Flagging (NOT labels, they serve a
different purpose) and/or Smart folders.
