And is the O flag visible on the mailbox level? Do I have to go into the mailbox to see if there are Old mails? In the meantime I've switched to maildir format. It has to drawbacks: empty mailboxes aren't removed and the timing of the mailbox isn't the one of the last change. So sorting maildirs according to the timestamp is useless. But I could work around this issue with a small shell script.
