Hi all, Since a few days, mutt's been giving me the message "Mailbox was externally modified. Flags may be wrong." every time I change into a new mailbox on one of the IMAP servers I have an account on.
It doesn't happen when I log onto the server, only when I subsequently change mailboxes, and it only happens on one IMAP server (fastmail.fm to be exact), not on my university's mail server, which I also access through IMAP. As I said, this started happening a few days ago, on three different computers (OS X at work, Linux at home and on a netbook), all running mutt 1.5.20. I've occasionally seen this message in the past, when mutt was running and I was at the same time logged into fastmail.fm through the web interface. Then it made sense. But now I'm not logged into the web interface, and still the message is appearing. I haven't changed anything in mutt's configuration, so I'm wondering if this may be due to a change in the IMAP server. Does anyone here have an idea as to what sort of behaviour of the server might cause mutt to give this message? (Yes, being mildly paranoid, I have considered the possibility that someone has found out my password and is accessing the mail account from elsewhere. While it seems unlikely, because my mail isn't that interesting and especially because I get the message *every* time I change mailboxes, I changed my password anyway. Didn't change a thing. First time logging into the account immediately after changing the password, still got the same message...) So if anyone has a suggestion, I'd be very grateful.
