When I first started using IMAP for email I thougt it was great, I could use mozilla mail or squirrel mail, or anything really. The problem came when I started filtering mail using procmail because the defaul setup for IMAP mail under mozilla only checks the INBOX. So that meant that any procmail-handled mail would not show as new mail. Very irritating, until I found this pref hack, add it to user.js:

// Check for new mail in ALL imap folders
user_pref("mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new", true);
