Oooof! That was worse. Now twenty old mailboxes, which haven't received mail in years, also "have New mail", despite being unchanged for years. And, yes, saving from my mailbox for this list to another caused that mailbox to be flagged as having "New" mail. There is a failure to distinguish between genuine mail arrival, and simple transfer of old (read) mail between mailboxes. If it were a bug, I'd expect others would share the problem, so I suspect that there's some setting which 1.5.20 needs, but 1.4.? didn't. My reading of the problem you solved with check_mbox_size=yes was that it is more or less the opposite of the one I'm experiencing. But thanks for the suggestion. Anything is worth a try.

This was not my doing, but she managed to wipe her windows and install it accidently when someone handed her the live CD to deal with a windows problem she was having. The computer asked her to do things. So she did. - Seen on luv-main, in slightly longer form.
