I don't think the new code does exactly the same thing. It won't ask
you to go back to a mailbox with Old messages until you restart
mutt. The count in the mailboxes view reflects this too, but I believe
that should be easy to fix. At any rate, it makes your/Derek Martin's
new mail polling algorithm easier to implement cleanly.
