this is reproduced with IMAP connections idling in a telnet session.
Two telnet imap connections open and both idling on the inbox and only
one of them gets the "1 recent" notification.
I've reproduced on a system where I have access which is a Dovecot 1.0
as delivered in Debian Lenny but also on another system which is
apparently Dovecot 1.2 (but I have no direct access to that one so
cannot be sure which version runs exactly.
