We can do it over imap or on the server (FC6). They are using maildir.
With IMAP use the "EXISTS" info:
1 LOGIN user pwd
2 SELECT "Customers.Fred Jones"
* 1 EXISTS
..
3 SELECT "Customers.Fred Firestone"
* 6 EXISTS
...
n LOGOUT
On filesystem count the number of regular files in cur and new subdirs:
cd /path-to-maildir
for dir in .Customers.*; do
let cnt="$(ls "$dir/new"|wc -l) + $(ls "$dir/cur"|wc -l)"
# or: let cnt=$(find "$dir"/{cur,new} -type f|wc -l)
# compare cnt with last count
# you could store the value into "$dir/lastcnt"
