I think that it should be possible to solve this problem using namespaces, but I didn't get far enough yet.
(MUCH more serious) As soon as I access the email using Thunderbird, Dovecot moves all new mail from
somefolder/new to somefolder/cur, thereby making mutt flag all my new mail as 'O' ("old") which was flagged 'N' ("new") before.
If I remember which the new mails were, I can flag them as 'N' in mutt, and they get moved to .../new again, but this isn't usually the case because my mailboxen are often large (> 10.000 messages), and it's undone as soon as I access the mailbox with Thunderbird (over IMAPS).
This I don't know how to tackle. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about IMAP (therefore "newbie") as to know which piece of software to blame, and/or whether this behaviour might be mandatory.
The software versions I currently use are these:
Mutt: 1.5.17+2008011 Dovecot: 1.0.13-1~bpo40 Thunderbird: 1.5.0.13+1.5.0
