Package: mutt Version: 1.5.21-6.2 Severity: important I upgraded from Debian Squeeze to Debian Wheezy. As part of the upgrade, Mutt was upgraded from 1.5.20-9+squeeze2 to 1.5.21-6.2.
My system architecture is AMD64. I use only Maildir for mail storage. Before the upgrade, I saw the following behavior: - The folder list (<change-mailbox> `?`) showed a "N" next to any mailbox which had "new" messages - If I then set so that messages left "new" when exiting the mailbox would not be changed to "old"/unread state (e.g. by using `%` <toggle-write> or 'unset mark_old', when looking at the folder list through the same means again, the folder still had the "N" flag The above is the behavior that I want to see. After the upgrade, I see the following behavior: - The first time I bring up the folder list (<change-mailbox> `?`), I see "N" next to any mailboxes which contain "new" messages - I then enter such a mailbox, make it so that messages are not marked old (as above) and exit the mailbox. - When I bring up the folder list again as above, the exited mailbox _which still holds messages marked "new"_ _does not show the "N" flag_. A double tab or a ^L to refresh or redraw the screen does not lead to any visible change. - If I enter the mailbox again, I see the same messages as "new" in the message list, so the status of the messages themselves has not been changed. - If I quit and re-start Mutt, it seems like whatever internal inconsistency causes this is cleared, because I get the behavior I expect (until I go into and exit such a mailbox; the behavior appears session-dependent). I have confirmed this behavior in a minimal mode using: mutt -F /dev/null -n -e 'set folder=/home/me/mail-root; mailboxes =mdir1 =mdir2' substituting a real path and mailbox names which are obviously only relevant on my system. I have not tested whether the incorrectly cleared "new" flag resets when further new messages are delivered into the mailbox. I am reporting this issue as severity "important" because the impact of this on a workflow where one relies on the reported status (new messages or no new messages) of each mailbox is relatively severe: especially with a large number of mailboxes, it becomes very easy to miss messages which one intends to follow up on. It does not appear to me to belong to severity "serious" or higher because a simple restart appears to clear things up and there is no permanent damage, particularly if $mark_old is unset on exit from the mailbox which appears to be the main situation in which this issue would manifest itself.
