The STATUS command requests the status of the indicated mailbox. It does not change the currently selected mailbox, nor does it affect the state of any messages in the queried mailbox (messages don't lose the Recent) flag. This command MUST NOT be used as a "check for new messages in the selected mailbox" operation (You should rather use FolderStatus and Noop()()()() or UIDNext) or SearchFlag(Flag)). STATUS command is not guaranteed to be fast in its response.
