Thanks to Mike's help paring down his configuration to a minimal reproduce, I was able to find the problem. I'll get a patch to stable tomorrow and a release out later this week. Yesterday I compiled 1.14.6 from source code, but still see it happening. Today, I had several mails in 3 different folders (Mail/folder-1-file, Mail/folder-2-file), but only one of them showed up as being new. Your original mail (<20200106150335.ga10...@hpfsc.de>) reported you were seeing the problem with 1.10.1, but then it stopped with 1.13.2. Unfortunately, the problem Mike reported first showed up in Mutt 1.11.0. If you are still having the problem with 1.14.6 it may be a different issue. Mike's reported bug was triggered by relative path mailboxes. Instead of: set folder = "~/Mail" mailboxes =a =b =c he had: set folder = "~/Mail" mailboxes a b c where a, b, and c were then resolved relative to the mutt starting directory, instead of under $folder. I made a mistake with the system call, forgetting a flag to ensure relative path behavior when resetting the access-time. Do you have any minimal mutt config I could try to see if the problem goes away? My config was created like 20 years ago and not sure if there is anything weird in. If the above isn't the problem, I'm afraid I would need your help in paring down to a minimal reproduce. -- Kevin J.

I made a mistake with the system call, > forgetting a flag to ensure relative path behavior when resetting the > access-time. I have the following: 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 signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Information: Mutt/Gmail/Oauth2 Failure
Hello Mutt/Gmail/Oauth2 Users, I had a problem reading my Google mail and wanted to let you know what happened in case any other oauth2.py users have a similar problem. I have a number of Gmail user accounts for which I use Mutt with oauth2 to read mail and, today, one stopped working. I started mutt and got this on the status line: -- mutt_account_getoauthbearer: Command returned empty string -- My Mutt config runs the oauth2.py script to get the access token. I ran oauth2.py manually and got this: -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/hokan/bin/oauth2.py", line 347, in main(sys.argv) File "/home/hokan/bin/oauth2.py", line 311, in main print 'Access Token: %s' % response['access_token'] KeyError: 'access_token' -- After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I looked at my Google account to see what had access to my data and didn't see Mutt listed. Perhaps after a year-and-a-half my access expired? I followed the process to get a new Refresh Token, replaced that in my Mutt config and I could read mail again. So, this turned out not to be a problem with Mutt, but with my Google account. -- Hokan Bicyclist Sysadmin signature.asc Description: PGP signature

There are 283 mbox files counting about 4.000 characters. Is this too much? No, it shouldn't be. Is it expected that value of "mailboxes" variable isn't shown when running: mutt -D Mailboxes are not stored in a configuration variable, so that won't be dumped out by mutt -D. Mutt doesn't provide a way to print out the current mailboxes list. However the 'y' keybinding () will list them in the mailbox browser. So far, I haven't found any clear way to reproduce it. This is the important part though. I've been staring at the code looking into Mike's problem. I saw a few (old) race conditions I need to address eventually but not much else. Without a simplified configuration and instructions to reproduce, I doubt I'll be able to find the problem. 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. Have you checked the access time vs modification time of those mailboxes? Capture them before and after procmail, and then launching Mutt. See if this gives any clues. -- Kevin J.

I believe the point of mutt is running in a terminal — rather, some of its defining characteristics (lightweight, shortcuts, ssh-able) blends well with a terminal app. I am not aware of GUIs for mutt or its clones.
