I don't know if it's related, but I've noticed the following behavior which was briefly discussed here before: When you switch from Mailbox A (index or pager view) to the folder list view, Mutt won't show the N flag next to Mailbox A when there is new mail in it. It doesn't seem to matter whether the new mail was already there or if it arrives while in folder list view. If you then switch to Mailbox B and back to folder view, the N flag for Mailbox A works again (but now Mailbox B has the same issue). Can anyone say whether this is a feature or bug? I'm using Maildir folders with "set mark_old=no", if that's relevant. -- John
