Messages without S are shown in boldface in SM, in INBOX. Ergo: what > you see in INBOX is in cur. Right - I shortcutted the technical details, but to the end user, it's easier to understand. Really, messages live in new/ only until some mail reader has *seen* them, after which they move to cur/. "Seen" is not the same as "read", but I think that kind of detail isn't what the OP needs.
