Do you me I should fix it manually? >From the manpage of muttrc, it says mark_old is for: > Controls whether or not mutt marks new unread messages as old if you exit a > mailbox without reading them. So it's for message, not for mbox. My issue is that when I enter into mbox then change to others, then the mbox's new mark will gone, no matter if the mbox contains new messages or not.
