Details

When logging into an IMAP mailbox, only the INBOX is checked for new mail;  I
have server-side mail rules that filter my email to seperate subdirectories
before any mail client checks the mail.  As a result, Mozilla doesn't know there
are new messages in these subfolders (as it didn't see them in the inbox, then
use its own filters to move them into a sub-folder).

Meaning I can have hundreds of new messages in a sub-folder in my mailbox, but
Mail/news onlly displays new mail in the INBOX.  It would be quite nice if
mozilla would recursively search inside the sub-folders for new mail as well the
INBOX when it checks for new mail.
