The problem you are experiencing is related to the fact that the
"new" message flag should be saved to the .mh_sequences file of an
MH folder. Mutt did evaluate this file at a time. I dropped this
support while redoing the mh and maildir folder update code. It was
never added again, partially due to the fact that there is no
defined locking mechanism for this file.
To make a long story short: Don't use MH folders for incoming
messages, and consider mutt's mh folder support "legacy format
support".
