Hey, I am experiencein the problem on both and courier-imap!
(Using Debian GNU/Linux Sarge and Etch)

Here is it more weird since if I login, and procmail has sorted some
messages to "/new" subdir of my maildir, mutt will detect the messages
and if I enter the Mailfolder with mutt. it move it IMMEDIATLY to "/cur"
ecen if I do not read the messages.

Then if I leave the folder and try to walk with c<TAB> throuh the defined
mailboxes, the NEM messages are not more there and detected...

This is realy annoying, since all is working fine if I enter the Maildir
over NFS, hey, and it move the unread messages (OLD) back to the /new
directory...

I do not use this option...
Unread messages are always marked as NEW up to the time I have REALY read,
or makred as READ, it.
