I have the same verison as you. If I leave messages as either New or
Old in a mailbox, pressing 'c' will not jump to that mailbox. If,
however, new mail arrives in that mailbox while I'm looking at another
mailbox then it will jump to it. The flag on a mailbox (contains new
mail or not) is based on the mailbox's timestamp. If you look at the
mailbox after it was modified then it does not have new mail, but if
it was modified after it was looked at then it has new mail. What
sort of mailbox do you use? I am using mbox, but perhaps a directory
based format (such as maildir) has different semantics?
