A couple of other things to check that I can think of:
1) When you enter these folders which are supposed to have new mail,
does Mutt actually show any messages as new? Is it just the file
browser or also the folder index too?
2) Are you actually using the right $folder_format setting? Use
:set ?folder_format
... to display the current value, when in Mutt.
3) You could try to use a different folder format for testing, eg.
Maildir. Maildirs aren't as sensitive as mbox folders and it's easy
to also manipulate them from the shell to have a desired "new-ness
state" (ie. by moving a message file under the "new" subdir).

It should be automatic, yes, and not require any special actions.
