After reading in RFC 3501 about the STATUS command I doubt that it would be the
right way. :( It says that STATUS should not be used on the currently selected
mailbox. Also this command can be quite slow.

On the other hand I found by chatting with a Courier IMAP server via netcat
that the STATUS result values like MESSAGES, RECENT, UIDNEXT, UIDVALIDITY and
UNSEEN are only updated if prior to this a SELECT or EXAMINE command was
executed. So Courier seems not to be conform to the RFC.
