Like others, I recommend switching to Maildir folders if you are reading
your mail from NFS-mounted disk. Not that I've ever had any real
trouble with mbox format folders over NFS, but I prefer using Maildir
rather than having to find out the hard way how mbox folders can get
corrupted...
But with Maildirs too, I have a "problem" with new mail reporting. This
only happens when I have new mail, and I don't want to update the N
flags, so I press $ to sync the folder, then % to avoid writing changes
on exit. After that, when I change to another folder, Mutt tells me
that I have "New mail in =FolderIJustLeft". This is more of a minor
annoyance than a problem. And for all I know, it's been "designed to
work that way". However I'd prefer if Mutt would check if there
*really* is new mail in the folder, not just mail that existed there
already and which is still marked as new.
