I have the following settings in my muttrc file:-
set alias_file=~/.mutt/aliases
set arrow_cursor
set assumed_charset="iso-8859-1"
set confirmappend=no
set delete=yes
set editor=~/.mutt/bin/vimutt
set folder=~/Mail/folder
set folder_format="%N %-32.32f %d %6s"
set index_format="%3C %Z %{%d-%b-%y} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"
set mail_check_recent=no
set mark_old=no
set mbox=~/Mail
set mbox_type=mbox
set nomove
set nomarkers
set query_command="getEvoAddress.py %s"
set record=~/Mail/Tm/sentmail
set reply_to=ask-yes
set rfc2047_parameters=yes
set save_empty=no
set signature=~/.sig
set spoolfile=~/Mail/In/inbox
set status_format="-%r-Mutt: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o?
Old:%o?%?d? De>
set status_on_top=yes
set timeout=15
I think the only really relevant ones to this problem are:-
set mail_check_recent=no
set mark_old=no
.... but the next-unread-mailbox command is *not* taking me to mailboxes
with unread mail. If I navigate manually to these mailboxes there are
messages flagged with N. So what's wrong? Why isn't next-unread-mailbox
finding the new mail?
These are mailboxes listed in the 'mailboxes' command in my muttrc.
It's as if next-unread-mailbox is first doing the same sort of check
that 'c' does and *then* looking for N messages. In my case 'c' won't
find new mail because access times have been changed by overnight
backups etc., next-unread-mailbox did seem to work yesterday (before the
backups ran).
