It depends, because now "mutt" show me only message the malloc() message
and tell me that the mailbox was closed and "mutt" DOES NOT MORE CRASH.
If I now use <c><arrow_up> to go into the last mailfolder "mutt" tries
to reconnect and mostly failed. I have to repeat <c><arrow_up> a second
time and now it LOGIN.
Oh wonder, "mutt" has not lost infos about the mailboxes with new mail.
It seems the problem with the lost "new mail" info for the mailfolders
is in the routines which write to the "heade_cache" because it seems,
that the infos about new mails are only available, if I get the
"imap_idle" signal from the IMAP server or while polling the mailfolder.
"mutt" does not save the infos correctly in the header cache.
=> "mutt" write the infos as they will be already seen which
is wrong if I have not accessed the mailfolder before.
Which mean, if I now close "mutt" it does not more know about the NEW
mails and it get ony infos about incoming NEW mails through "imap_idle"
signal from the IMAP server or while polling the mailfolder.
Even does "mutt" not know about NEW mails coming in after closing mutt
and reopen it. So, I can not close mutt after breakfast, go to work and
if I come back at evening, reopen "mutt" an read the new mails.
IT DOES NOT WORK
In another previous mail I have already written about a solution:
1) If "mutt" access a IMAP server, the infos about new mails should
be written to the "header_cache" and flaged as "NEW" if the
mailfolder was not accessed otherwise it is automaticaly flaged
as "OLD".
2) If 1) does not work, and "mutt" is setup with "imap_idle" or
polling the folders, it should ignore at startup the config and
POLL all mailfolders defined with "mailboxes" the get the status
of NEW messages arrived before the actual start.
IF "mutt" is configured to ignore the "OLD" flag which is my
case it shoud set the mailfolder as "with new mail" because
otherwise I would only see this OLD-NEW mails if a new message
arrived in the mailfolder where mutt tell me "I have 1 NEW mail"
but if I change into the mailfolder I see 100 new mails which I
was not aware of it.
This problem is becoming worse, if you have mailfolders which
receive occasionel NEW mails and you have several 100 folders or
like me more then 4800.
NOTE: I have written a small perl program which access the IMAP
server get a list of the mailfolders and then check the
new messages. thePerm script show me the real numbers of
NEW messages in the mailfolders but mutt failed.
So, it is definitively a bug in "mutt" how it handels NEW messages
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
