Ok then. How about changing your folder format to something where this
will not matter? If I sync-exit a Maildir format folder, I get a N flag
beside in the folder browser... Although not for the current folder,
apparently Mutt is being smart and does a special-case for the current
folder, it can't have any New messages inside it since you're just
viewing it and any new messages will be marked old after you exit. :-)

You can't, AFAIK... :-(

That is true. Again, this is not a problem with folder types that don't
rely on access times. :-)
