Actually the solution seems to be "good enough". When unchecking "Check  
INBOX only" with "Check IMAP mailboxes" checked I can easily  
distinguish between cached statistics and real statistics because the  
"not opened" subfolders have no value in the "T" field (total number of  
mails in that subfolder). However, there are now some moments in which  
Balsa's interface "freezes" for some seconds. I think it happens when  
it checks all the subscribed subfolders (I have ~30 of them).

Thanks for the tip,

Oddly enough, when I answer to your mail in Balsa, the compose window  
is empty, I had to copy and paste your reply in the compose window and  
indent it manually (arrghhh).
