Odd quirk in folder_format display
I have quite a few levels of directories below my ~/mail directory. For some reason when I navigate through some of them the numbers of messages are displayed whereas in others they aren't. Here is my Ju (junk) folder as displayed in mutt:- -- Mutt: Directory [Ju], File mask: !^\.[^.] -> ../ canals/ digikam/ dokuwiki/ leafnode/ postponed/ rsync/ xfce/ ... and here is my In (inboxes) folder:- -- Mutt: Directory [In], File mask: !^\.[^.] -> ../ cl/190 default/ 852 freegle/40 inbox/ 300 odin/ 30 tinnews/00 ... and here are (some of) their contents:- chris@esprimo$ cd ~/mail/In /home/chris/mail/In chris@esprimo$ ls -l total 24 drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Feb 26 18:10 cl drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Sep 25 2020 default drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Feb 19 13:53 freegle drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Sep 25 2020 inbox drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Sep 25 2020 odin drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Feb 27 00:25 tinnews chris@esprimo$ ls -l cl total 12 drwx-- 2 chris chris 4096 Jun 15 09:14 cur drwx-- 2 chris chris 4096 Jun 21 10:18 new drwx-- 2 chris chris 4096 Jun 21 05:01 tmp chris@esprimo$ cd ~/mail/Ju /home/chris/mail/Ju chris@esprimo$ ls -l total 28 drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Apr 17 20:38 canals drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Nov 24 2020 digikam drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Nov 18 2020 dokuwiki drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Apr 10 12:03 leafnode drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Jun 21 19:39 postponed drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Nov 18 2020 rsync drwx-- 5 chris chris 4096 Nov 19 2020 xfce chris@esprimo$ ls -l canals total 12 drwx-- 2 chris chris 4096 Jun 21 19:36 cur drwx-- 2 chris chris 4096 Jun 21 19:36 new drwx-- 2 chris chris 4096 Jun 21 17:49 tmp I don't understand why I'm not seeing message counts in the Ju folder. There are similar 'some work, some don't work' folders elsewhere in my mail folders. -- Chris Green
