Here too...

Open and switching...
I have encountered a grave bug... I have more then 3000 unread messages
in my mailfolders...
It seems that it has something to do with the malloc() bug...
Explanation:
I have for each mailinglist ony mailfolder like
imaps://mail.private/INBOX.ML_debian.devel/
INBOX.ML_debian.mentors/
INBOX.ML_debian.user-german/
all of those mailfolesr arein "mailboxes" with
mailboxes =.ML_debian.devel/
mailboxes =.ML_debian.mentors/
mailboxes =.ML_debian.user-german/
I have MANY "mailboxes" (exactly to files of 213 for the technic
mailinglists and 592 the standard one).
Now while mutt is checking for new mail in the boxes. Courier-Imap move
automaticaly messages from the /new/ folder to the /cur/ folder but
unread.
Now if mutt crash because the malloc() bug it lost its memory and forget
that there are messages unread...
This sound weird, because the "mark_old=no" and should only affect mutt,
if it read the Maildir physicaly...
However it seems to be a misunderstanding between courier and mutt about
unread unread messages since thunderbird, "libnet-imap-simple-perl" and
"uw-imap-client" do the right thing.
The same happen to my BTS account, in which I subscribed to any packages
I have installed on any of my computers... 687 source packages!

No, if I go manualy into the mailfolder they are shown as NEW.

Goog luck, I will attach the whole .mutt/ directory as TAR archive...

If I set "mark_old=yes" it is the same effect... and if I enter the
folder manualy I can not use <TAB> to switch to the next unread messages
because they are marked "O" and not "N"... This setting is definitively
not what I want.
Imagine, you have a folder with Business-Mail which comes in the box
INBOX.Business/
Now you have gotten a new contact and setup a new filter and move the
message into it... Now you have to search some other messages maybe
stored in another folder and move it to the new created folder.
And what happen now? -- any other UNREAD messages in the Business
folder are not more recognized as unread and if you switch into the
folder manualy, you see, the messages are definitively marked as NEW "N"
This mean you can not more switch back to the folder using a simple
"c<ENTER>" (next folder with unread messages) which sould be the first
of your "Business" structure...
