Then I observe the reverse behaviour here.
mail_check_recent=no
Notified only when new mail arrives.
mail_check_recent=yes
Notified when new mail arrives, and notified about mail that I've
left unread. -- Except for my homespool.
Regardless of the setting I just want the behaviour before the
new variable was introduced.
Something seems to be completely wrong here.

Ok, for the fun of it I unset mail_check_recent again. And
suddenly it works as expected. I even had to look up what exactly
had changed and found this variable. Very strange. I only did set
it after I observed this change in behaviour ...
I am very sorry for the noise, I have no explanation as to why
this happened.
