Right. The "!" seems to be wrong but irrelevant. Turns out another push command for the same folder was interfering. Combining the two push commands works well.

I went through my .muttrc correcting that as necessary. Limiting is working well and I made macros for various views: macro index \e0 '<limit>all<enter>' macro index \e3 '<limit>~n >29<enter>' macro index \e. '<limit>~n 30-79<enter>' I had to add the "all" macro to the start of my "mark all read" macro or it left hidden items. -- Kind Regards, Freeman http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/
