>From mutt's documentation:
\begin{quote}
mark_old
Type: boolean
Default: yes
Controls whether or not Mutt makes the distinction between new messages
and old unread messages. By default, Mutt will mark new messages as
old if you exit a mailbox without reading them. The next time you start
Mutt, the messages will show up with an O next to them in the index menu,
indicating that they are old. In order to make Mutt treat all unread
messages as new only, you can unset this variable.
\end{quote}
Also, note that the entries in .muttrc are the default values. So, if
the line set mark_old exists in your muttrc, then it means that the
default behaviour of mutt is to mark messages as old. If you don't want
that behaviour, then commenting out this line will not work - you will
have to explicitly give unset mark_old in your .muttrc.
