Hi all together, it might look like a small question, and I know it has been many times on this mailinglist.
But anyhow I still don't get it: How do I really get mutt to consider mails marked as "old" and marked as "new" to be the same thing when I am using maildir. I have the following problem: I run mutt via screen on one PC. I would like to keep it running there forever and alert me as long as I have a connection to that screen session open. This works fine, as long as all my mailboxes are really listed in the config file. Now it comes that I got some exim-filters, that create maildirs on the fly, when mails are coming in with a til now unknown local part suffix (e.g. "+mutt"). So I wrote a small script that scans my ~/Maildir for all maildirs it can find and adds them to the mailboxes of mutt. Anyway I still need to sweep through my mails and read all mail that got to me during the last time I had time for this. So when I list all mailboxes I have to look into every mailbox to see if there is still unread mail. I fixed this by modifying the mailboxes-script to search also for maildirs that contain unread or new mails. Well, issue fixed you might think. But no, not yet. Now I leave my mutt session open because someone or somethink interrupted me. Now as long as I don't touch it I will only get notifications for the mailboxes that are currently listed in "mailboxes". Well, at this moment these are only the mailboxes that contained new or unread mail, all others are ignored during this time. So my final question is: How do I get mutt to consider old and new mail the same. The manual leads me to thinking that mark_old will only stop mutt from moving mails in the maildir/new to maildir/cur. But there is also another factor in this case: as I am on the road many times I don't always have the luxury of a stable and fast ssh-connection home, so I can't use mutt on e.g. my phone. To access mails there I have to use IMAP, so a dovecot-instance is always sweeping my maildirs and moving new mails to the cur-directory, so that they are marked old no matter how I set mark_old. So finally I'd like to be able to "hide" some mailboxes in the list like e.g. limiting for mails does perfectly. Does anyone have an idea how I could achieve this?
