-These will only work if your client is the only client that accesses the
-INBOX. There is no requirement that the UNSEEN and RECENT messages are at
-the end of the folder in general.
-
-If you want to present all UNSEEN messages and flag all the messages you
-download as SEEN, you could do a SEARCH UNSEEN and just fetch those
-messages.
-
-However, the proper thing to do if you want to present the messages when
-disconnected from the server is to use UIDs. To do this, you remember the
-highest UID you have (you can initialize to 0), and fetch everything with
-a higher UID. Ideally, you shouldn't cause the SEEN flag to be set until
-the user has actually seen the message. This requires STORE +FLAGS SEEN
-for those messages which have been seen since the last update.
-
-The key thing to remember is that in IMAP the server holds the
-authoratative list of messages and the client just holds a cache. This is
-a very different model from POP.
-------------------------------- CUT HERE -----------------------------------
-
-A problem with this recommendation is that the UID commands don't exist
-in IMAP2bis. Since we want to preserve IMAP2bis capability (so fetchmail
-will continue to work with the pre-IMAP4 imapd) and we've warned the user
-that multiple concurrent fetchmail runs are a Bad Idea, we'll stick with
-this logic for now.
