I've also just now added a fallback to RECENT the first time a mailbox
is polled in a session, if there is no header cache data. I think this
should take care of the majority of users. For people for whom the
recent flag is frequently lost (the motivation for switching to
UIDNEXT), a workaround is to use header_cache, which you probably
already are. We may need a flag to disable recent, but I hope we
don't.
