I find that if I enter a mailbox, e.g. mutt-users, and there press c
to go back to the list of folders, whenever new mail comes to
mutt-user the mailbox isn't marked with N. Also, if mail come to this
mailbox at this time, and I select *another* mailbox from the list and
press enter, I enter mutt-users nevertheless! That happens only if
mutt-users got mail when it was open.

Is there a way to close a mailbox completely before going to the
mailbox list?
