I'm writing a python script which uses imaplib to select all unseen messages from a mail folder to process some messages flagging them as seen, and leaving others as unseen so they can be manually processed using the 'mutt' mail client.
After some trial and error, I've figured out how to remove the \Seen flag from messages I want to look at manually, but I still have a bit of a problem in that when I open the folder with mutt using direct access to the Maildir folder in the file system, mutt flags these parsed but unseen messages with the 'O' instead of 'N' which is uses for new messages. I would like to have the script restore the 'N' status flag that mutt uses instead of 'O'. The mail server is using courier-imap with Maildir stores on CentOS Linux. Mutt access is direct on the file system, not via IMAP. Bill -- INTERNET: b...@celestial.com Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www.celestial.com/ PO Box 820; 6641 E.
