The word from dovecot is that STATUS on a selected mailbox is SHOULD NOT
to start with, and MUST NOT to check for new mail.  See 6.3.10 of
RFC3501.

http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2007-May/023045.html

Plus, doing lots of STATUS commands seems to be disfavored but I don't
understand IMAP well enough to understand.


Given this, I think it makes sense to set
nnimap-need-unselect-to-notice-new-mail to t by default.
