No problem. LIBBALSA_MESSAGE_FLAG_NEW corresponds really to negated IMAP 
SEEN flag. RECENT IMAP flag is a bit special. For example, when there are 
several clients accessing same mailbox, only one of them will see RECENT. 
One might even consider ignoring it in a first approximation.

True: the comment in the code is false.
