I tried but did not work well. I guess I may not understand your tag procedure well, or I did not explain my intention clearly. I am doing following two steps: 1. Config muttrc not to mark unread message from N (new) to O (old). I tried to "set mark_old=no" But it did not work, it still marked N to O after exiting mutt. What was wrong for the "set mark_old=no"? 2. Change already marked "O" messages to "N" If "set mark_old=no" works, all new messages will be mark to N so that I can use key N to change message state without open the mails in index. But for old messages which have already marked with "O", I want to change it back to "N". I tried to use tag as you suggested above to change all "O" messages to "N". But did not work. Please explain more details how can I use the tag to change all "O" state to "N" state in one go. Thank you. Kind Regards, Jim
