I see this even when closing out folders with c (change to another folder); mutt will still prompt me saying the folder I just left has new mail. It's not just $ and x.
It's an upstream problem and apparently was intentional. There's a little discussion and an acknowledgement that they broke a lot of people's workflow at http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/NewMailHandling Someone posted a patch at http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3271#comment:18 but the current resolution is basically that yes, it's broken now, "we're planning to rework the new mail handling". For now it seems the only answer is to build a local copy of mutt with the patch, or use an older version. -- not seeing atime properly, keeps revisiting unmodified mailboxes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442800 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
