maildir: defer the count of recent messages

Since commit 01c96e78dfe8 ("Update DirectoryInfo handling for maildir"),
flags are checked for every message of a folder when entering it.
Iterating over all messages of a folder takes a long time for large
collections of emails.

Only count the number of messages and state that the directory info
counts are not accurate. Defer the parsing of message flags in
a goroutine to have a more responsive UI.
