Hi,

I use the Maildir++ format with mutt. It all works very well: I have been using 
xbuffy (also gbuffy) to monitor my mailboxes for at least two decades but these 
programs currently only either new mail or all mail. I would like to change 
this to include unread email. 

Now it is my understanding that mutt moves accessed email from new to cur when 
a folder is accessed. However, the coloring appears to indicate that the mail 
is not read (unless we go to that message/file). Where does it get this 
information from? Is it from the access time of the file in cur which if later 
than the creation/edited time for the file is assumed that the file is read? Or 
something else?

If I can figure this out, perhaps I can modify gbuffy or xbuffy to include 
unread email in the monitoring.

Many thanks for your help, and best wishes,
Ranjan
