By default mutt automatically changes the N flag to O upon leaving a
folder.  You can disable this with 'set mark_old=no'.

This will also cause mutt to treat any messages that are flagged as O on
disk as if they are actually marked as new (including possibly writing
them back as new).  This can be fixed (since IMO it's broken) with a
patch I maintain:
