No, I use the toggle-new command to mark them as new (and they become
old when I quit the mailbox with the quit command).

No, when using a "normal" folder (where "normal" means non-IMAP),
it depends on how I quit Mutt. Quit with 'quit' -> the new messages
are marked as 'old'. Quit with 'exit' (or after setting the folder
in read-only mode) -> the new messages remain 'new'. This works very
well to use the 4 levels, but not with IMAP.
