Yes, I do. If there is a new unread message in the mail box and I enter and leave it is still contains an unread message that resides in the .mailbox/new directory. I'm sorry that I still don't get it. To quote the help: “The (by default unbound) function <next-unread-mailbox> in the index can be used to immediately open the next folder with unread mail (if any)” and ├────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────┤ │<next-unread-mailbox> │open next mailbox with new mail │ ├────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────┤ I have a mailbox with unread mail in it (I did not read the mail, right?) and this mail is new (it shows an “N” in the index) and pressing “.” shows that this mailbox contains new mail (so mutt thinks I have a new mail in this mailbox). As far as I understand the help text I quoted, mutt should open this very mailbox if I invoke “next-unread-mailbox”. > > Since there is a file in the mailbox “new” directory (.beta/new) > > mutt should be able to tell that there's new mail regardless of the > > modification time.

Apparently I don't understand what the function “next-unread-mailbox” is supposed to do. Marco
