If I enter A, read some new messages and then press y,the number is not decrased.If then I enter B and read some messages and then again press y, the number of A is *now* correctly decreased. So I must visit some *other* mailboxes in order to have the number of messages in another mailbox correctly updated ? This is a strange behaviour. Am I not well understand the meaning of $timeout ?? The mailboxes view is either a menus or in an interactive prompt ???
