Nice.  Now that it can pull this from index files, it would be pretty sweet if there was a variant of the STATUS command that would provide STATUS information for all mailboxes at once, rather than just for one.  This could be used by webmail applications to update a folder listing that shows unseen mail counters with one command.  Like maybe:

a1 X-LIST-STATUS (MESSAGES UNSEEN)
* X-LIST-STATUS "INBOX" (MESSAGES 8 UNSEEN 0)
* X-LIST-STATUS "Drafts" (MESSAGES 0 UNSEEN 0)
* X-LIST-STATUS "Trash" (MESSAGES 89 UNSEEN 3)
a1 OK X-LIST-STATUS complete.
