Nevermind that suggestion - having just read the discussion on the IMP
mailing list, it probably is easier to mark the messages as seen, if you
want an accurate unseen message count.  You do that at the expense of
transparently changing the status of a message - if I, for instance, delete
a message without reading it, and later remember that I really actually
needed it, and I goto Virtual Trash to retrieve it, I'm going to be looking
for an unread message but its been altered on me.

Question - let's say you were rewriting the IMAP library - _should_
imap_status take other flags as options?
