Comment:
It looks like maildir_check_mailbox() and mh_check_mailbox() are
deliberately implemented this way.
They are updating the state/flags of the messages, but are not making
comparisons and returning a status value that would cause the index to
refresh (for cases other than new or disappearing mail.)
It looks like the MUTT_FLAGS return value was added as an IMAP
enhancement, and the other implementations of mx_check_mailbox() were
never enhanced to return this value.
For now, I'm going to mark this as an enhancement.
