Hi, It's a bug introduced in mutt 1.5.19. If you can go back to 1.5.18, you will be rescued. If not, 'set check_mbox_size=yes' before the mailboxes directive. (It use an alternative method for new-mail checking.) Please check my recent post with subject: New mail problem - Why I have to leave a folder twice?

If there only a few messages and they are all grouped together you can read the first one and then hold down the down arrow until you come to the end. If there are more than a few or they are scattered, look at the Mutt Manual under patterns (T, ~N, enter followed by ;, W, N) or set up a macro as suggested in another post on this thread. The only problem with this is you may not want to mark everything as read. A macro gives you no choice. For some reason, as soon as I quit my mailbox (with c), it reports in the status bar that new mail has been received in the mailbox I am just leaving. Not quite. It merely says that new (actually unread) mail exists in the mailbox you just left unless you are set up to constantly receive mail. All emails are read as far as I can tell. That one puzzles me. is this normal behavior? Is there a trick to mark all email as read (ok, I guess I can tag all of them and mark them as read, which I did but still same message is reported when switching mailbox!!!) That may be the real problem! Are you sure there isn't/aren't one or more unread messages lurking somewhere in that mailbox? -- Emmanuel -- Bob Holtzman Key ID: 8D549279 If you think you're getting free lunch, check the price of the beer

mailboxes directive not working correctly
Hello, I have been using mutt for 6+ months and have minor configuration issues. One of them is with the mailboxes directive. When I change mailbox (with c), mutt goes successively to my 2 FIRST mailboxes directives. But doesn't go to the 3rd, 4th, etc mailboxes =lists/epics mailboxes =lists/ts7000 mailboxes =lists/qt mailboxes =lists/svlug mailboxes =lists/comedi mailboxes =lists/mplayer What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to easily and quickly change the current mailbox? -- Emmanuel
