It's got nothing to do with the limit for messages. The limit in Entourage
2004 is 1 MILLION messages (less a few thousand depending how may other
items you have. The exact limit is 2 million items but each message counts
as 2 items.)

I have a few problems like that with my non-UIDPLUS IMAP account (mac.com) -
basically just that the "Unread count" stays at 1 too high for about 5
minutes. No such problem with my UIDPLUS (Cyrus server) IMAP account. No
problem with IMAP rules (but I don't have too many of those).

I think you probably have less-than-perfect IMAP servers which ignore some
internet protocols.
