Most times when I first connect to an IMAP4 mailbox and frequently at
other times I get the message:-
    "Mailbox was externally modified.  Flags may be wrong."

Now this may be right at times but it certainly seems to me that it's
a pretty silly message to output on one's _first_ connection to an
empty inbox!

It also strikes me that saying that an IMAP4 mailbox has been
"externally modified" is just telling me what IMAP4 has been designed
for!

How does mutt decide that a mailbox has been "externally modified"
anyway?  It works OK for local mailboxes, mutt complains if the
mailbox has been modified by some other program while mutt is running.
It seems to complain for no good reason when looking at IMAP4
mailboxes.
