Hi Jörg, You may also need to unset the 'mark_old' setting in your muttrc. Otherwise, new messages will be marked as *old* when you leave a mailbox with the result that the N is no longer shown in the mailbox list. However, if you really only want to have the N shown if there are actually *new* messages in your mailbox, you have to test it differently. Simply sending yourself a mail should be enough to check whether the N is correctly shown or not. Cheers, Till
