How do you think about solving this problem: Should there be a support
in `fetchmail' for this kind of IMAP servers, so that fetchmail would
try to use the old detection method if a `SEARCH UNSEEN' has failed --
or should the mail service provider be encouraged to use a more
current (or complete) IMAP-Server, or do you see another possibility?
SEARCH UNSEEN has been part of the IMAP standard since IMAP2, RFC 1176.
A server that does not implement it has not implemented IMAP and is
broken. End of discussion.

Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they
are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America
cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the people are armed,
and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.
