Thank you for that. Unfortunately it didn't get me anywhere. There
isn't much point checking if a file exists under nnimap, as it
probably does regardless of whether you have any new messages.

Anybody have a solution for checking if you have new messages in lisp?
I can do it with a wmmail applet, but would like and emacs solution.
