Update, This problem I had with new mail notifications is embarressing me because I was pretty sure that the below "problem" was a problem. My conclusion is Squirrelmail or the New Mail plugin, was in no way a problem. It turns out that my "stupid" phone, as opposed to my smart phone, was syncing my mailbox and when that happens mail gets transfered, on the email server, from maildir new directory to maildir cur directory. While I was debugging my snafu, in the source code, the variable that did not return right was anything to do with RECENT. RECENT emails are stored in maildir new. As soon as the new email is noticed it gets transfered to maildir cur. Then it will not be detected unless "New Mail Notifications" option "Count only messages that are RECENT" is set to unchecked. But I like the option to only notify on RECENT. If anyone has more insight I've got an open ear.
