I usually scan my mail in FILO order, acting on the most urgent messages. Later on, I look at them again, processing and archiving them at my leisure. Thus, when I finish with all the recent messages, I would like to see older ones, but I don't want to saturate my portable device with all my unread ones. > ... > > while using 'MaxMessage 100' and 'ExpireUnread yes' might remove > > unread messages leaving me with less than 100. > > > i don't understand what you mean by that.
Well, I had made one test. Running mbsync brought in 100 messages when I first ran it. I opened my mail with mutt, saw a few messages and closed mutt. Later I ran mbsync again and it fetched 20 messages, but when I opened my mail, the original 100 messages were gone. I then changed 'ExpireUnread' to 'no' and ran mbsync for the third time, expecting mbsync to fetch again those 100 messages, but it didn't. I decided to stop making tests and ask the experts, afraid of inadvertently deleting messages from 'master' (so far they seem to have survived).
