It is run as a post-hook, i.e. after "notmuch new", so it's on the
server.

Both have this set to true.

Not necessarily. The recommended setup of notmuch for afew is that
"notmuch new" tags messages with "new" tag only. Then afew processes all
messages with "new" tag. So if it is a spam, then it gets "new" removed
and "spam" added. A spam message at any time doesn't have "unread" tag
assigned which should explain this behaviour.  So the problem is to be
fixed on the afew side.

Once again thank you for helping with tracking down the issue.
