Just a quick 'me too' point to note that Rainer isn't the only person
doing server-side filtering.  The STATUS enhancement would be quite
helpful to me as well.

Additionally, folks using client-side filtering are likely to be bitten
by this occasionally, but not often enough to figure out why.  Anytime a
desktop/laptop mail client checks mail and filters it to a folder, but
the user doesn't immediately read it... those folders won't be listed as
containing unread messages when the user next checks mail in Modest.

Thanks,

I second this, too. At work we use server-side filtering with rules written in SIEVE: each time I use modest to read my emails while on the go, I've to check all and every IMAP folders to be sure I don't miss any message - sometimes it's annoying!
