I have just had the shell account where I read my mail moved from a FreeBSD system to a Linux one. I was using mutt 1.5.16 on the FreeBSD system, I'm using 1.5.17 on the Linux system. I have the same home directory on both systems so my muttrc file is unchanged (except for removing sentmail from the mailboxes line).
I'm getting an odd effect when I log in to read new mail, the busier mailing lists' mail appears in two chunks. I.e. I see new mail in the fedora mailing list mailbox, I open it and read, say, 20 messages. I then go to the next mailing list (possibly mutt) read messages there and then, immediately afterwards the next new messages are 50 or so in the fedora mailbox again. There's no way they're really new or have arrived since the first lot. This wasn't happening in the FreeBSD environment, does anyone have any ideas what might be causing it? -- Chris Green
