Glad it worked. I still don't know why our macros differ since we
are using the exact same version - Mutt 1.5.23 (2014-03-12) - maybe
Debian (which I am using) packages mutt with slightly different defaults.

This is really, *really* weird. If you are using maildirs, do those
folders have files in <your-folder>/new/ subdirectory (upon new mail
arrival)? Do other clients (sylpheed, etc.) recognise new mail?

I don't know if such a thing is possible (maybe, *maybe* there is
a patched mutt version out there which does that, I cannot help
because I have always used vanilla mutt).

To navigate mailing-list threads easily, this is my setup; perhaps there
is something you can grab:

    - set sort=threads
    - turn pager_index_lines on
    - have some 'collapse thread' keys handy:

        bind index c collapse-thread
        bind index C collapse-all

    - make liberal use of C-d (<delete-thread>)
    - have a macro to unsubscribe from mailing-lists threads
