I am useing mutt since 0.48 I never experienced that behaviour.

One thing I am trying to track down is that there seems to be a prob. with
collapsed threads, but besids this ...
nope, cannot confirm that.

I've been using mutt 0.93i for a couple of months now and I usually check
the amount of incoming mail with fetchmail in verbose mode and check it
against the amount mutt indicates.  No problem so far (well, may be just now
that I've started with procmail).

Just love it (I should try pine just for the sake of it...).

 try 'strip' on the executable, or turning off the '-g' option

 +/-400KB.

Thanks. I'll do that to procmail too!
(I had to build procmail here myself!)

Cheers, David.

Quoting Alan Eugene Davis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 I upgraded mutt to v  0.93.2-1.  Now all mail that has been read is deleted 
 from my inbox.
 
 Is there a configuration issue?

It may depend where you're coming from. I new in from pine, and built my
.muttrc from Sven's. It mentions that hold became move at sometime.
I use set nomove and setnomark_old so everything stays put (and stays
new until actually read) until I explicitly save or delete it.

The only thing I haven't worked out is whether I can leave a folder with
deleted messages in it, and return to find them still marked as deleted
(which can be done in pine). It seems to unmark them if you don't purge.

I'd also like the keystrokes s=fooreturn sreturn to put the 2nd
message in foo rather than making up a new name. But these are details.

Mutt works really well, and compiling the upstream version on the
university sun (and linux) was trivial. Takes up 1.6MB though :(
(Why do I run it on the sun? Because I don't trust the file-locking in
their IMAP server.)

Cheers,
