The \Recent flag is removed after the first session to have been notified
about the message.  This means that when imapfilter opens a mailbox in order
to apply its filters, all messages that had this flag set will lose it and
all subsequent sessions (such as the one of mozilla) will not see \Recent
set for those messages.

Imapfilter and _all_ IMAP clients cannot modify the \Recent flag.
