> 1. I'd like to have new or unread mail (what's the difference, anyway?)
To mutt, 'new' means that the mail is unread and has arrived during this mutt session. 'old' means that it's unread but remains from a previous mutt session. But like another poster, I use them differently. For me, 'new' means 'unread', and 'old' means 'must reread'. Unmarked mail (neither new nor old) is read and can be removed. > flagged somehow.

It certainly supports this, but it depends on the mail source itself to say what's read. Mutt can alter these flags, but so can other tools. If you have other programs (other mail clients, or "biff" programs, etc.) reading your mailboxes, they could be interfering with your expectations of mutt. -- -D.
