Package: mutt-patched Version: 1.5.23-3.1 Severity: normal
I noticed a problem with how mutt-patched deals with folders containing new email messages. The behavior is somewhat different from the correct one of unpatched mutt. My muttrc configuration file contains the following: set mail_check_recent unset mark_old This is how regular mutt behaves: when I open mutt for the first time I see all new messages in all folders. Once I visit a folder containing new messages and I don't read them, but leave them still flagged as New, the folder does not appear in the buffy-list anymore, nor gets accessed with the command <next-unread-mailbox>. Let's say I have these folders in this order, which are all local maildirs: folder-A folder-B folder-C folder-D Suppose folder-C has new email, I open it but don't read the new messages, they stay flagged New, but get otherwise ignored. The first difference here is that unpatched mutt does not show folder-C in the buffy-list anymore, while mutt-patched does. Still I don't reach folder-C with the function <next-unread-mailbox>. Now if folder-A or folder-B get new messages then all stays the same: <next-unread-mailbox> switches to them only, folder-C gets correctly ignored. Instead, and here is the error, if folder-D (or any other folder that in the mailboxes list comes after folder-C) gets new messages then <next-unread-mailbox> visits folder-C before going to folder-D, even if folder-C does not have any new "recent" messages. I think the right behavior is the one of regular unpatched mutt. When you have "mail_check_recent" set mutt should only notify you about new mail that has been received since the last time you opened the mailbox. In any case visiting or not visiting "unread" mailboxes should not depend on the order of other mailboxes with new messages. Thanks for your work on this package.
