If you provided a patch for IMP-git I'd definitely look at it. The 
method name is pretty unclear - maybe taking an optional array of 
mailboxes would be better too? - and we'd ask you to review the Horde 
coding standards 
(http://horde.org/horde/docs/?f=CODING_STANDARDS.html) and to consider 
if you'd be willing to assign copyright to the Horde Project.

Ok. But I think it's really usefull, there isn't another way to guess 
how many unread messages you have on the INBOX (most important Folder 
since all non filtered messages are kept here).



Developing systray agents without this kind of functions is nearly impossible.



Thanks for your attention

Not very useful since it only returns that information for the inbox. 
Beside that, new features go to the development version first, and the 
IMAP code has been completely rewritten there, so that we can't apply 
your patch anyway.

But we'll keep the patch here for the record.

Add summary function to IMP api.  This makes accesible the 
read/unread/newmsg via XML-RPC, so a desktop agent can notice about 
new messages.
