set folder="$HOME/Mail" mailboxes `cd $HOME/Mail; echo P-*|sed -e 's/P-/+&/g'` mailboxes `cd $HOME/Mail; echo L-*|sed -e 's/L-/+&/g'` There are 283 mbox files counting about 4.000 characters. Is this too much? Is it expected that value of "mailboxes" variable isn't shown when running: mutt -D Also inside mutt, running :echo $mailboxes doesn't output anything. Some other values of (maybe) interest (via mutt -D): mail_check=5 mail_check_recent is set mail_check_stats is unset mail_check_stats_interval=60 mbox="~/mbox" mbox_type=mbox move=no browser_abbreviate_mailboxes is set sort_browser=alpha So far, I haven't found any clear way to reproduce it. I "think" it most often happens if several emails are added by procmail to several different mbox files. Only 1 or 2 of such folder files are marked as having new mails, all others are lost. I compiled 1.14.6 from source. Official Ubuntu is still on mutt 1.13.2, but I first reported the problem with version 1.10.1. So I think the problem might have been introduced with version 1.10, because before Ubuntu had mutt 1.9, where I didn't encounter this problem. Please let me know for any additional information. Of course, you can also contact me directly and I'm happy to share my config with you. Regards, Sebastian
