MUA's handle new messages in folders better.
(ie, you can open up the mailbox, not read anything, and it still says
new -- mutt doesn't)
All-in-all though it's not such a bad system (for mutt). It probably
solves a lot of headaches with locks and other processes trying to
write to the mbox as mutt reads to determine if something is new or
not.
