a message can have 2 status flags - RECENT (new), UNSEEN (not read).
A message with either of these flags is to be considered SEEN (read).
Google does not support the RECENT flag and therefore merges RECENT
and UNSEEN to 1 state labeled 'New'. On the other hand Claws-Mail
honours the IMAP rfc in which case it distinguishes between UNSEEN
and RECENT so that a message have the correct 3 states - New,
Unseen, and Read.

My understanding is that Google/gmail doesn't follow the imap
standard.
As far as I know, gmail has only 2 statuses:
* unread
* read
Then there are all kind of other flags like spam, deleted.... but
these are not part of the imap standard.
But I'm lost, at one point the OP was talking about non-gmail mail
then it was about gmail.

<p>My main interest is for nongmail accounts. But it is good to know
how to discover if another IMAP server follows the standard in
this aspect or not. The account i most use in my routine is yahoo,
but there are others in other services.</p>
