Yes, it marks the message with a capital "D". > Immediately upon being marked or only when you synchronize your folder > (or mutt exits)? Immediately upon being marked. > You need to provide more information. A good formula is: > > 1. What did you do? I sent a message to my Maildir style mailbox in my homedirectory. I read it using mutt with the above given config. After reading the message the maildir is like this: /home/nutzer23/.Maildir/ |-- cur | `-- 1196182469.V805I649f9M72775.notebook23:2,ST |-- new `-- tmp > 2. What did you expect the computer to do?

I am in the middle to some Postfix training and we have this problem here with mutt. I do answer many calls on the Postfix mailing list and I know about the importance of giving valuable hints. I hope I did this time.
