HI Andre, I was able to that, but, not via control of mutt, via control of the Mail-server (Dovecot) , (its been a while since I've done that, and it's not an active solution, I can dig the .conf files from backup if needed. ) AFAIK, mutt interfaces with Exim upon its sending email, when you 'open' mutt for reading, then you're interfacing with the mail server, qpop/dovecot or Gmail. I tuned the refresh rate of the Maildir on dovecot to be slower ( it was 10 seconds on default, if I remember right ) , then, say, Thunderbird read an email, and considered it as read , the mail server (Dovecot) did not tag it as old and moved it to /cur , while (to my pleasant surprise ) mutt and my android phone where smart enough to know that the messages were read. I was mainly doing this so I'll be able to run some scripts on the server's side and wanted email-files to be left under /new and not moved to /cur . -- Guy Gold
