I use Maildir and if I visit a folder, don't touch new messages (or
even if I read them and then mark them as new again) and leave, mutt reports
new messages there. Actually, this is one of the reasons that convinced me
to move to Maildir in the first place :)
BTW, it seems that I've made that mistake once again: I insert a
minor comment in a message containing a bigger problem, the minor comments
gets answered and the bigger problem is ignored :p
(Courier-imapd + mutt) still don't report any new messages
whatsoever.

I was a grim reaper until I started taking antidepressants.
I still reap, because I like the work, but I'm not grim.
