Hi famfop, Unfortunately mairix cannot do this for you. Since it runs as a completely separate process, it cannot control what Mutt does to the messages, and Mutt has no concept of its own of messages that exist in multiple folders at the same time anyway. You could write a script that you run after exiting Mutt that updates all of the matched messages to become read in the original folder by reading the symlinks and renaming files. Normally I would suggest something like the virtual folders supported by Dovecot for this type of feature. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual With that feature, you can configure a virtual folder that contains only the unread messages from another folder. When messages flags get changed in the virtual folder, they also get instantly changed in the underlying folder, and vice versa. It's fully dynamic. (In fact, for this specific use case it's a little *too* dynamic and probably won't work: as soon as you read a message in the virtual folder its status will change from unread to read and consequently it will instantly disappear, giving you no chance to actually read it. However, if you do this based on some other flag, such as the message's Flagged or "starred" status, it will work great.) -kv ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
