The explanation to your problem lies in this snippet:

> a004 SEARCH UNSEEN
< * SEARCH 39 96 107 116 120 150 155
< a004 OK SEARCH completed (Success)
> a005 SEARCH RECENT
< * SEARCH
< a005 OK SEARCH completed (Success)

As you can see, none of the unseen messages are "recent". MN therefore considers them as seen, and hides them unless the "Display seen mail" option is enabled. Enabling that option will solve your problem.

It looks like mail-notification doesn't work very well with IMAP.
I've tried two different IMAP servers, and mail-notification seems to get all the information it needs (unread e-mails), but the GUI doesn't reflect that (it says I have no new e-mail).
I've attached mail-notification's output, hoping that it will help fix this.

PS: to make the attachment readable, I removed all but one attempt for one account to fetch unread e-mail headers.
