Hello, I've looked around and found FAQ answers on new messages not being reported correctly, where Maildir folders are mentioned as a solution. In my case, the new messages flag when using maildir is the problem.
Environment: ``mutt-devel'' built from the FreeBSD ports (Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17)). muttrc options: alias_file folder_format mbox_type use_from ascii_chars from pager_stop !mark_old charset hostname realname envelope_from implicit_autoview record folder index_format sort (mbox_type is "maildir", folder is $HOME/Maildir/) mailboxes are set properly (see below). In the index I do see the new messages flag, but only the first time I see the folder in the mailboxes index. Example: I receive a message that gets put in '.INBOX.gmail.INBOX' (through gmail, offlineimap. The subfolder syntax is due to Dovecot serving the maildir folders through IMAP. No mail client is using the IMAP server as I run these tests.) I start mutt and go to the index. I see the `N' flag next to the '.INBOX.gmail.INBOX' folder. I go in that folder, a message is marked as new. I don't read the message, and go to the index. Now there is no `N' flag next to the `.INBOX.gmail.INBOX'. I go in that folder, and the _message_ is still marked as new. I said the mailboxes are set properly, here is the reason for that claim: If I press tab in the index I do see the expected mailboxes. If you need additional information, I will be happy to provide it, or run whatever tests you want. If this is documented somewhere and I didn't find it, I apologize and will gladly accept a pointer in the right direction. Thanks, --Vincent
