the way email messages are counted is not foolproof

There is something wrong with the email message count, this needs to be discussed with Pascal. Besides, I have started noticing that in some rare cases, specto doesn't notify me that there are a few mails waiting for me in gmail.

Basically, I'll try explaining the issue, but feel free to correct me.
If you receive an email and read it from another computer, and that during that time you receive another email, Specto will think these emails are the same email and will not tell you about it.

So the problem resides in the way Specto counts unread / new mail. It currently does this, basically:
if self.newMsg > int(self.check_old()): self.updated=True

Gentlemen, what new counting method should we use? We need to have notifications as long as new messages are still in the inbox, even if they were there the last time we checked.
