Thanks for the tip. I just checked and the index (visible when pager_index_lines is set) does not show new mail either. I may assume that this behaviour is unrelated to the sidebar patch and vanilla Mutt behaves the same. When I exit the pager, new mail shows up instantly (in the pager and the sidebar). So this seems like a bug in Mutt itself (I can't see any use-case that might benefit from this). Or maybe it is just a configuration issue. Marco
