Well... it depends on the folder-type. Jörg's expectation is satisfied for me when I work with IMAP: new msgs make the IMAP server report the folders containing them as new, too, every time I reconnect until the msgs inside lose N.

Right, mutt can't do that. But you could change it manually via your shell by resetting mtime and atime as needed.

But IMAP folder don't loose the N flag. And mutt-ng achieve the flag, too. This there an hook I can use to set the flag manually? > do not open/access folders that you want to retain the new flag. You are funny. I want to read the message before I decide to postpone the answer. Bye, Jörg. -- [dpkg] We are the apt. Resistance is futile. You will be packaged.
