It is more in line with the other mailbox formats, and meant to quell the stream of $imap_recent patches that pour into the list. Treating Old as New was a side effect of some new mail detection reworking, which has only existed for about 3 developer revisions IIRC. > time.

This is not. You're never supposed to be pinged about mailboxes unless they have actual new mail any more. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on, and a .muttdebug0 from mutt -d3 (off-list) would be helpful. I've been thinking for a while we might need a $mail_check_old variable, since both behaviours have their devotees. I just haven't thought about how to implement it efficiently for other mailbox types than IMAP.
