Yep, I submitted a patch earlier last month (search for imap patch) to 
fix this although what it did was use the /Recent flag to check for 
unread messages. This works as long as you dont use the IMAP source in 
any other client before sup checks for new messages.

In reality what it should be checking for is the lack of the /Seen flag. 
That requires a patch to the sources generally so they can work out if 
they've been read or not (included in my patch). I've also got some 
further tweaks to the patch locally that I'll submit once I've tested 
them a bit more.
