Phil,
I looked around and this is deep in the Roundcube service side code. It is detecting a new message in a folder since the last time you viewed the contents of the folder.
I see has the folder list items are changed through css and how the server side code is receiving the request to check for recent. It get complicated after that. I cannot determine if it is keep state in roundcube or making a call to the IMAP provider. I am leaning to roundcube state.

Phil, Are you trying to find out how dovecot marks emails as unread?
No - I am trying to work out how New Unread Mails are highlighted in blue - see the attached partial screen capture - the two blue-highlighted RCM folders are highlighted in blue AND are also in bold - folders with OLD but UNREAD mails are just in bold.
I want to create a script or find out some way of marking a folder blue according to the datestamp of the most recent mail in the folder.
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
Phil.
Assuming you are using maildir format, it appears to be encoded as flags in the email filename on disk. It’s briefly covered in 'Filename examples' https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir And in 'What can I put in info?' https://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html
- occasionally I would like to re-mark a dir as having new mail so that the dir shows up as blue-coloured in RCM.

Every time I Google in vain and then have a go at working it out myself if google have no answer to it, its simple not supported Quite frequently not true . . but the only thing I can see is that there is a change in the appropriate dir dovecot.index.log file after having the blue dir clicked on dont mangle files outside of imap protocol You already said that - what is your solution then? (and the colour of the dir name changes back to black) - so is the information stored somewhere in RCM itself? no OK, overall not a very helpful response . . but thanks anyway. P.
