Yup.

Most things except highest and lowest article number in the group:
MESSAGES The number of messages in the mailbox.
RECENT The number of messages with the \Recent flag set.
UIDNEXT The next UID value that will be assigned to a new
message in the mailbox. It is guaranteed that this
value will not change unless new messages are added
to the mailbox; and that it will change when new
messages are added even if those new messages are
subsequently expunged.
UIDVALIDITY The unique identifier validity value of the
mailbox.
UNSEEN The number of messages which do not have the \Seen
flag set.
