Oh, and this was also fixed a week ago: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/238a34ad1ab0

Quoting RFC 5465 (NOTIFY):
“If the NOTIFY command enables MessageNew, MessageExpunge, AnnotationChange, or FlagChange notifications for a mailbox other than the currently selected mailbox, and the client has specified the STATUS indicator parameter, then the server MUST send a STATUS response for that mailbox before NOTIFY's tagged OK. […] If either AnnotationChange or FlagChange are included and the server also supports the CONDSTORE [RFC4551] and/or QRESYNC [RFC5162] extensions, the STATUS response MUST contain UIDVALIDITY and HIGHESTMODSEQ.” — https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5465#section-3.1
While unsolicited STATUS responses include HIGHESTMODSEQ indeed, the initial STATUS responses (caused by the presence of the STATUS indicator) do not:
~$ /usr/lib/dovecot/imap * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 … CONDSTORE QRESYNC … NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE] Logged in as guilhem a ENABLE QRESYNC * ENABLED QRESYNC a OK Enabled (0.000 secs). b NOTIFY SET STATUS (SUBSCRIBED (MessageNew MessageExpunge FlagChange)) * STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 9069 UIDNEXT 109398 UIDVALIDITY 1312585007 UNSEEN 0) […] b OK NOTIFY completed (0.008 secs). [time passes… a new message is delivered to INBOX] * STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 9070 UIDNEXT 109399 UNSEEN 1 HIGHESTMODSEQ 22216)
This defeats the purpose of the STATUS indicator for disconnected clients since they have to issue separate STATUS commands (or a LIST command if LIST-{EXTENDED,STATUS} have been advertized) to find out which mailboxes have got a new HIGHESTMODSEQ.
