Severity: minor Tags: patch I found out how to fix this issue.
The behavior is controlled by a new configuration setting, $mail_check_recent which defaults to _set_. >From the manual, section 3.119: > When set, Mutt will only notify you about new mail that has been > received since the last time you opened the mailbox. When unset, > Mutt will notify you if any new mail exists in the mailbox, > regardless of whether you have visited it recently. > > When $mark_old is set, Mutt does not consider the mailbox to contain > new mail if only old messages exist. Adding `unset mail_check_recent` to the configuration does indeed restore the old behavior as described in the initial submission. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
