My only comment would be to improve the name and documentation for the
option a bit.  With your explanation above, I understand what (and why)
you are trying to do.  But both the option name and the description
"treat cur the same as new" are a little vague when read on their own.

Forgive me if this starts a bikeshedding discussion, but I would suggest
something like $maildir_check_cur:
  ** If \fIset\fP, mutt will poll both the new and cur directories of
  ** a maildir folder for new messages.  This might be useful if other
  ** programs interacting with the folder (e.g. dovecot) are moving new
  ** messages to the cur directory.  Note that setting this option may
  ** slow down polling for new messages in large folders, since mutt has
  ** to scan all cur messages.

Do any other devs have comments?
