Now I'm even more confused: mutt says after several days of not reading mail, mutt says:Msgs:220272 New:6 Old:710 and those refer to the 6 new messages I received while it is open.
YIKES - that is a *huge* mailbox! It's interesting that mutt seems to think all unseen messages are Old.
Then, leaving mutt open, I tried imtest localhost to the cyrus imap server and:
I'd be more interested in what cyrus actually sent mutt. Imtest isn't going to be reproducing exactly what mutt sent, so you don't know exactly what cyrus sent mutt, we can only hope that what you're showing here is what mutt saw.
Compile mutt with debugging enabled, and then run mutt with the '-d 5' flag, so that mutt will show you EXACTLY what it received.

As I understand how mutt works, mutt determines the number of new/old by comparing what's in the folder to what's in it's header cache.
If you delete mutt's header cache, does it default to assuming that every unread message is new (as I would have thought) or does it default to assuming that every unread message is old?
