I've played with some mutt settings yesterday and thought why not use TLS to connect to the IMAP server. This is the way it should be anyway.
It turns out mutt reports less folders (!) to have new mail if I use TLS than if I use an unenrypted connection. I can reproduce this any time I switch from unencrypted to TLS and back changing the following parameters from "imap" to "imaps": set folder=imap://mail.state-of-mind.de/ set spoolfile=imap://mail.state-of-mind.de/INBOX set record="imap://mail.state-of-mind.de/sent-mail" set postponed="imap://mail.state-of-mind.de/drafts" Can anybody else verify this behaviour? Am I missing a setting I should enable? After all, it might be mutt isn't the culprit, but Dovecot. I am using dovecot 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu as IMAP server. p@rick -- Postfix - Einrichtung, Betrieb und Wartung <http://www.postfix-buch.com> saslfinger (debugging SMTP AUTH): <http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/>
