Exactly the same here, some folders more than others (maybe because they
have more mail arriving there), on both Cyrus and Dovecot IMAP servers.
Sometimes it is even after closing mutt and starting it again that the
mail is marked as new again. Just like mutt forgets to mark it as
read or something. If you crash mutt (or kill it) I think the same
happens, but then it's kind of logical to me.
