Then tell your MUA to set the follow-up correctly.
I don't make the decision, mutt does, based on your headers.

OK, then for now forget your panel.
Start making backups is more important.
I am absolutely serious about this, and this is the
best advice you will get, EVER.
1) look into backup solutions (rsync, dirvish)
2) use a backup solution
3) check that backup files are written (BOFH writes them to /dev/null,
fast, however...
4) test you can restore from your backups
5) get also an offline backup
6) backup
7) backup
8) backup
9) backup
10) BACKUP!
