Package: mutt
Version: 2.2.3-1
Severity: normal
I upgrade my Sid Unstable desktop daily. The upgrade from 2.1.4-1 to
2.2.3-1 breaks the change-folder action (normally bound to 'c').
Normally and up through mutt 2.1.4-1 (at least) typing 'c' would
prompt with the next mailbox that has new mail since the last time
mutt visited the folder. That allowed a set of mailboxes to be walked
through one after the other. The messages are seen. Then whether
mail is read or not read 'c' moves to another folder. Mutt will
prompt for a different folder with new mail. If new mail arrives in a
previously visited folder then it will once again become a candidate
for prompting with the change-folder action.
Starting with 2.2.3-1 the 'c' change-folder action now prompts with
the *previous folder always* and never prompts with any other folders.
It no longer selects a mailboxes folder with new mail. It prompts
with the previous folder even if no new mail has arrived there.
Effectively creating a situation where one toggles between two folders
endlessly.
I don't know why the previous folder is always selected. It's
possible that upon leaving the folder that mutt 2.2.3-1 modifies it in
some way causing it to appear new and therefore to be placed at the
top of the new mail folder list next change-folder action. I don't
know. That would be one possible way to create this behavior. But
whatever the root cause it breaks use of the 'c' change-folder action.
Note that this is separate from pressing space to rotate through the
mailboxes list manually. Yes it is always possible to spacebar
through all of the configured mailboxes manually. But that is very
tedious when a lot of mailboxes are configured. This is definitely a
regression from before when this prompted for a folder from the
configured mailboxes list that had new mail.
Downgrading to 2.1.4-1 and holding it works around this problem.
apt-get install mutt=2.1.4-1
apt-mark hold mutt
Thank you for maintaining Mutt in Debian.
