I wasn't confusing the problem, I was explainging why the imap protocol
doesn't help this.  The unread count is disconnected from the folder
itself too, which needs to be updated before the vfolder knows about it,
the vfolder knows nothing about the folder list unread count and evenif
it did it wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
