Set mark_old=no. I use mbox, and this works just fine.
set mark_old=yes
Name: mark_old
Type: boolean
Default: yes
Controls whether or not Mutt makes the distinction between new
messages and old unread messages. By default, Mutt will mark new
messages as old if you exit a mailbox without reading them. The
next time you start Mutt, the messages will show up with an "O"
next to them in the index menu, indicating that they are old. In
order to make Mutt treat all unread messages as new only, you can
unset this variable.
