next-unread-mailbox but taking into account Old messages as well?
Good evening, Is there an equivalent to next-unread-mailbox but that goes to the next Mailbox with Old messages as well? My use case is the following: when listing my Maildirs via IMAP, E-Mail Clients like Evolution, Mail.app (OS X), ... mark by default messages as "Seen" and append the Maildir S flag. My guess is that the application actually reads the messages in order to generate a preview (first few words of the email on the iPhone for instance). The right fix would be to disable this behavior in these applications, so that when I read the Maildir locally, mutt doesn't interpret these messages as Old. That is not always possible unfortunately. As a workaround, I'd like to have a next-unread-or-old-mailbox function that allows me to go through all my (actually) unread emails. If it doesn't exist, would a patch implementing this function be acceptable? Thanks, -- Pierre-Alexandre Meyer

In other words, if checking all your mailboxes takes longer than 10 seconds, mutt will be caught in an infinite loop of checking for new mail. It may have worked better on your desktop box because the hard drive there is faster and has more cache. What type of mailboxes do you use? Different formats (mbox vs mh vs maildir) take different amounts of effort to identify new messages in extremely large mailboxes. Mbox is usually the fastest because mutt relies on the timestamps on the mailbox file. ~Kyle - -- And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.

Header filtering when reading mail
How can I change the header filter (toggled by h key) to display only the headers I want to see (From, To, Cc, Subject) and not anything else? By default, toggling the filter seems to filter out some standard headers but that still leaves my screen full of custom headers that I'm not interested in reading. Baldur

You're looking for the ignore/unignore commands. To limit yourself to just the headers you want, first ignore everything and then unignore the ones you want.

Tried changing mail_check to 200 and it made a large difference. Now Mutt only cycles through the mailboxes once. The only remaining problems are 1) the fact that mutt still insists on reading a seemingly random selection of mailboxes when "^o" is invoked. This behavior is also random in that it doesn't always happen. On my desktop box it seems as though only the mailbox I'm opening is read (hard to tell because it's *fast*). 2) reading mailboxes is much slower on the laptop than on the desktop, maybe due to the differences in hard drives you noted. > > It may have worked better on your desktop box because the hard drive > there is faster and has more cache.
