Querying via opening the folder is reliable, but via the STATUS command, only new/unread messages are shown. If I want to have the total number of (unread) mesages in a folder, I have to manually open it, so the headers are loaded.
I don't understand. What's the difference between "new/unread" and "unread"? What does headers have to do with it?
In other words: Does the STATUS command only return new/unread messages, or can this be configured on the server side?
There's no configuration. STATUS can only return number of messages, messages without \Seen flag, number of messages with \Recent flag ("new messages arrived since last time mailbox was selected"), and some other less useful things.
