Actually I think you are both mistaken. Well, Bek probably just
misunderstands...
mutt offers to change to boxes with new mail in the order you declare
them. If you declare them in alphabetical order, you will get them in
alphabetical order. (I suspect his is what Bek has done.) I declare
them in rough order of interest, most interesting ones first, and that
is the order I get them in. For instance, given:
mailboxes =Bugtraq
mailboxes =Mutt
mailboxes =Fetchmail
If I have new mail in Mutt and Fetchmail, I see Mutt first, regardless
of when new mail most recently arrived. If I then get Bugtraq mail,
it is the mailbox that comes up by default when I hit c.
