Hah that's close. The difference in my case is that it happens after new mail has arrived when I'm already back in the message index in order to go to another mailbox from there (i.e. I switch between mailboxes like so: foo/ -> message index -> bar/ -> message index -> ...). Could you point me to the spot where this is documented? This may help me to dig deeper. Thanks. s.
