Thank you, 'check_mbox_size' does the trick. I don't know how do other mailers
handle the mbox that has new messages, but mutt is the only one that I've met
have this strange behavior like Derek said(I was and am the user of
emacs'gnus, opera's M2, even gmail's web interface hasn't this issue). Maybe
check the mbox that has messages flaged as 'N' is a more rock way?
