Hmm not exactly. I'm in foo/, read mail and go back to the message index by 
pressing
`c'. I have set

    macro index,pager c "<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" \
        "open a different folder"

Now in the message index (after some time, new mail has arrived) I see that
foo/ and bar/ are flagged with 'N'.  I use the j and k keys (or <up> and
<down>) to go to bar/, press Return to enter bar/, but I end up in foo/. This
happens only if foo/ got new mail after I left it the first time.

Maildir. 

    set mbox_type=Maildir
    set folder=~/Maildir
    set spoolfile=~/Maildir
    [...]
    mailboxes +foo +bar +stuff

On Debian testing:
$ mutt -v

    Mutt 1.5.17+20080114 (2008-01-14)

If it's of any importance, please note that I have the sidebar patch but I
don't use it.

I hope you can give me some hints about what I could do to find out what's
going on here as this little thing can be really annoying :) Thanks!
