Yes. :-( The <change-folder> command (normally "c") shows no new mail indicator, when changing to different IMAP folders. Note: the messages within the folders are properly marked as "N" (new). And will stay that way until read, presuming that you "unset mark_old". It's just the list of folders that does not tell you if there is new mail in a folder, so you have to look in each folder.
