dovecot - Dec 2020 - Using dovecot with RoundCubeMail - where is the information for new mail in (blue coloured) directories?

People,

Every few years I try to work this problem out - occasionally I would 
like to re-mark a dir as having new mail so that the dir shows up as 
blue-coloured in RCM.  Every time I Google in vain and then have a go at 
working it out myself but the only thing I can see is that there is a 
change in the appropriate dir dovecot.index.log file after having the 
blue dir clicked on (and the colour of the dir name changes back to 
black) - so is the information stored somewhere in RCM itself?

Thanks,

Phil.

In Roundcube we store in session an information about the max message
uid in a folder. We do not use the RECENT flag because it was not
reliable (according to some comments in code).

When you click the folder the value in session is being updated, and it
has not much to do with dovecot index file.

See rcube_imap::folder_status() in Roundcube.
