Fair enough. Thanks. The other weird part is that after I've accessed my mail from the iPhone and then gone back into mutt, mutt will tell my I have new mail in that mailbox but then won't show there's new mail in that mailbox after that, so no indication in the status bar and nothing when I go to change folders. It will start working again properly once I've written to the mailbox from within mutt, like deleting and expunging. -Ken
