Ha! I found the little devil... and killed him! :-)
New mail indicator is working fine now.

Well, first I was interested only in a new mail indicator, but as I
think more of it, counting new messages would not be such a bad idea
either.

I always thought that these mailbox files are just plane and simple
text files, that contain only the email, one after the other; and
there is no data regarding what mail is new, what mail is replied,
what mail is read. Then mutt can not maintain these data my parsing
ONLY the mailbox file => there must be some other data file, or I was
wrong at the start :-))
