imap_check_subscribed is unset. I've been relying on mailboxes commands
for a while (years?). Setting imap_check_subscribed doesn't seem to
help. Maybe I didn't have the right debug level to report mailboxes
usage? What should I be using? (The only things i trimmed out were a few
mutt_alloc_color lines, the password, and an alias being registered.)

I tried that after someone on irc suggested it. No luck.

It's possible it was upgraded around the same time. However, downloading
the source for 1.5.11 and building it results in a mutt that does
identify new mail. In fact, firing up a fresh build of 1.5.11 reports
Inc:1 in the status bar. Firing up a fresh build of 1.5.12 or 1.5.13
doesn't.

Are there other imap configuration parameters I should be trying?
