Even better, the solution is:

  imclient_addcallback(fromimp, "RECENT",       /* keyword */ 
              CALLBACK_NUMBERED,                /* flags   */
              callback_recent,                  /* proc    */
              &curmbox,                         /* rock    */ 
              NULL);

in other words, RECENT returns a mesg number, that's why it didn't match
the keyword withouth the CALL_NUMBERED flag..
