Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mutt
In jaunty beta, mutt isn't reading atime properly and keeps wanting to
go back to mailboxes I've just checked.
My default mailbox is ~/Msgs/in/Inbox. I start there, type c then choose
another folder, read mail in that other folder, and mutt tells me:
New mail in =in/Inbox
If I go back to Inbox, there's no new mail there, but now it tells me there's
new mail in the folder I just left. There's no new mail there either.
The partition where my mailboxes are located is mounted with relatime:
/dev/sda5 on /home type ext3 (rw,relatime)
It's not a kernel or relatime problem, though. If I copy /usr/bin/mutt
from jaunty and run it on karmic, it works fine and doesn't prompt me to
go back to previously read mailboxes. So I think the problem is with
mutt.
