Ah, right, I just use local Maildirs.

Seems to work now. Only thing is: when I leave a mailbox with new
messages for the browser the count of new messages for the
mailbox I just left is 0 even if I didn't read any new messages.
After opening a different mailbox and going back to the browser
the new message count for the first mailbox shows up correctly
again.
