That was an excessive cut/paste on my part.
The first hook does indeed re-enter the folder if I type '$' in the
index view. ('$' in pager view still does a plain <sync>.)
The reason for this is that the <sync> operation only commits my
changes (deleted, unread->read transitions etc) to the folder. It does
not check the folder for new mail. So your surmise is exactly correct.
The outstanding task is to have the re-enter return to the current
message. If only there were bookmarks! I lamented the lack of "go to
message by Message-ID" and David Champion pointed out:
<search>~i <20090609040352.ga18...@cskk.homeip.net><enter>
which is exactly that. So I want to write a small script to make
bookmarks. A short script to write such a search to a file and a
get-bookmark macro to source it is the plan.
WHat I really wish is to use filename completion, to the "go to
bookmark" macro is something like:
:source /path/to/bookmark/<tab>
to pop up a file browser to choose a file to source.

Yeah, I've got one of them. I've just ripped out a bunch of macros whose

You have a config folder? How's that work? A bunch of special purpose
muttrcs that get sourced at need?
