The \Recent flag cannot be changed by the client - its completely managed 
by the server. Whatever client generated the command is at fault as the 
IMAP spec clearly shows that \Recent is not one of the allowed flags for 
the APPEND command. In actual fact any message being appended will always 
end up with the \Recent flag as it is considered 'recent' when added to the 
mailbox, so its use in APPEND in superfluous anyway.

Bottom line is: its a client bug - fix the client.
