"New" for the purposes of PAN usage here means overviews (inaccurately aka
"headers") retrieved the last time overviews WERE retrieved for that
group (and there was at least one "new" one). Thus, unless you read them,
"new" messages should STAY "new", until you fetch additional overviews,
and there's at least one to update and become "new", at which the former
"new" ones will become "old" (that is, simply, "unread").
