You could see if unsetting $mark_old helps But the thing is, Maildir format has a pretty specific idea of what's "new", and it's a little different than Mutt's concept of "new messages" "The new subdirectory stores messages that have been delivered to this maildir, but have not yet been seen by any mail application" https://www.courier-mta.org/maildir.html So I understand somewhat your reason, but, based on my limited understanding of the Maildir spec, I think you're asking Mutt to not follow the Maildir spec properly by doing this. /w
