I'm confused here...

Let me try to see if I understand this correctly.

You have a Maildir.  Three programs access that Maildir directly: Binc,
OfflineIMAP, and mutt.  Something -- and you believe OfflineIMAP -- is
taking unread messages and moving them to cur, even though they don't
have the S flag.

That doesn't sound like OfflineIMAP.  OfflineIMAP does not gratuitously
move messages around; it will only move things from new to cur if the
flags indicate that the message is no longer unread.

That said, it is standard behavior for mail readers to do so.  I
consider it a bug in mutt that it considers a message to be unread only
if it's in new.
