I think I know what you mean. Actually I have no idea how to easily make mutt keep the N flag after closing and reopening a mailbox. What I would suggest is to ignore the difference between N and O, delete "set mark_old=no" from your configuration and use these keys to jump from one "new" message to another: bind index i next-unread bind index y previous-unread The keys "i" and "y" will jump to the next and previous messages marked with any of N or O respectively.
