|Yes, there are files like this:
|
|    new/1064308825.2751_239.genius:2,S
|    new/1064308825.2751_263.genius:2,S

in my case, i switched with mb2md (mailbox2maildir)
and i guess my already read mail went to new/

./new/1062034304.000140.mbox:2,S
./new/1062034304.000141.mbox:2,S

so mutt is rightfully displaying the N in front of the mailbox,
to tell me that there is some mail in new/

(i tried to play with touch, touch -m, touch -a... i guess
it only works with mbox format)


however in the index there is no N sign to indicate any new message.
should'nt mutt move them all to cur/, considering there is no new mail ?

or should i do it by hand ?

thanks
