Hmm not exactly. I'm in foo/, read mail and go back to the message index by pressing `c'. I have set macro index,pager c "<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" \ "open a different folder" Now in the message index (after some time, new mail has arrived) I see that foo/ and bar/ are flagged with 'N'. I use the j and k keys (or <up> and <down>) to go to bar/, press Return to enter bar/, but I end up in foo/. This happens only if foo/ got new mail after I left it the first time. > What underlying mail storage do you use? What mutt version?
