'N' comes from the IMAP server's recent status, '.' comes from Gnus's
idea of what's new and what's not. Apparently these two are running at
the same time - and accesses outside Gnus atleast do change the state
of both.
The user should be able to select which one (or maybe both?) is to be
used - since for others the IMAP server status might never be recent
and for others it might be the most accurate recent indicator if they
use other mailreaders as well.
