When you leave folder, mutt will mark all messages as Old. 'y' shows
number of _unread_ messages. 'c' suggests you folders containing 'New'
messages. So once you visit folder, it won't be suggested again unless
there appears new message again.

If I am right about the cause, the attached patch makes mark_old option
work also for IMAP.

Hope this helps
