Felix Finch <[email protected]> [200107 08:03]:Might I suggest you actually count how many files in those new Maildir/new dirs, just to make sure they actually are in the new dirs and haven't moved to cur or something?I have done that. When the counter is reset to 0, I usually do ls -lt ~/Mail | head
That's not likely to be meaningful for Maildir, where the new message files will be in a subdirectory "new" for each folder.
What happens if you exit and restart Mutt? Does Mutt suddenly become aware of the new mails again?
As Felix suggests, have you tried peeking inside the "new" subdirectory of a maildir that should have new mail? What do the messsage filenames look like? Do they have any flags such as 'T' (trashed) or 'S' (seen) at the end? If so, are there any external programs that might be monitoring and manipulating the maildirs?
