Hi,
I'm currently using Imap with gmail. Working great, but I do have a question. When performing an EXAMINE command on a folder, gmail's imap servers will return in the response something like [UNSEEN 4] to indicate the number of unseen messages in the folder that the EXAMINE command was issued for. However, if the UNSEEN count for the folder is 0, that line is completely omitted in google's response to the EXAMINE command (eg: [UNSEEN 0] is NOT returned, it's just left out, so you can assume unseen=0).
My question is, does mailbee's imap component update the Unseen property on the Imap object when ExamineFolder is called? Does it update the Unseen property in both cases, where google DOES include [UNSEEN 4] and when [UNSEEN 0] is NOT included (so Unseen property should = 0 in that case)?
I'm trying to avoid doing an additional SEARCH UNSEEN NOT DELETED command just to get the count of the messages with the unseen flag.
Thanks!

According to IMAP RFC, [UNSEEN 0] is obligatory and we don't update Imap.Unseen in case of lack of that response part. We recommend you to contact GMail support regarding this issue.
Best regards,
Andrew

IMAP protocol requires sending [UNSEEN XXX] response by server always when number of unseen messages changes.
Even if we add processing the lack of [UNSEEN 0], it may cause a bug in other cases when number of unseen messages was not actually changed.
Best regards,
Andrew

So how is it handled now when [UNSEEN 0] is not included? is the unseen property simply not changed in the mailbee Imap object?

Sorry didn't read close enough.. You don't update the Unseen count in that case... I'll contact gmail and see if they can fix this.
