Is this:
RFC 3501 Section 7.3.2?

Examples of
situations in which this is not the case are: multiple
clients having the same mailbox open (the first session
to be notified will see it as recent, others will
probably see it as non-recent)

So the implementation seems to be fine according to the RFC but it
came somehow unexpected to me. It's not that this is required by the
RFC though.

Thanks for the information,
 Wolfgang
