Incremental scanning will, I hope, be permanent--that is, until someone 
finds a better way to open an IMAP connection with a reasonable amount 
of network traffic. Clearing the unread style on folders needn't be. A 
simple patch for checking new mail immediately after repopulating the 
mailbox list is attached.

You may find the immediate new-mail check intrusive, especially if you 
expand several nodes quickly. Delaying the check for, say, 5 seconds 
might work better; if it's not an issue, the present fix should work.
