Check out this configuration option; it might help you get the behaviour you want. 6.3.84. mark_old Type: boolean Default: yes Controls whether or not Mutt makes the distinction between new messages and old unread messages. By default, Mutt will mark new messages as old if you exit a mailbox without reading them. The next time you start Mutt, the messages will show up with an "O" next to them in the index menu, indicating that they are old. In order to make Mutt treat all unread messages as new only, you can unset this variable. With this set (as it is by default) mutt only goes to folders with new mail (not unread mail). This is with version 1.3.20i; I'm not sure how the stable branch behaves. If this is not working for you, double-check your .muttrc and /etc/Muttrc to make sure it's not being turned off. What works really well for me is to use mutt's move and keep_flagged features. This way, after I've read mail, it gets moved into my mbox, unless I flag it. This way, my inbox shows me only unread and flagged mails, and I can always reach my read mails with a simple 'c>[enter]' HTH -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
