Hokay. % them and marked not if I have read them. This is how i want it. But % message five is marked "O" although I never laid eyes on it. That's interesting. You say you've never seen the message before, and I'll believe that, but forgive me if I dig on a bit more. How does this message get into the mailbox in question? Does procmail deliver it directly? Does all mail land in $spoolfile and then get moved elsewhere? % % > If so, that is quite interesting. Do you ever see 'N'ew mails in any % > folder?

And i am How do mails get into the mutt-user mailbox? Is that for incoming or outgoing? And do you always see new mail in $spoolfile as you expect to, or does the problem sometimes come up there, too? % using procmail, but it doesn't write Status or X-Status headers % And I see "N"ew mails in the folder-list. The folder-list doesn't count; don't worry about that. And I didn't really expect that procmail would write such headers, but it's worth checking. % % > What type of mailfolder are you using?

Maildir, for instance, marks its messages as old and read differently. % ... % > remove any Status: and X-Status: fields you find and then run mutt on % > that folder? Are the messages still old, or are they finally new? % > % They are all new. Good; that part works.
