I don't recall what the previously suggested solutions were. But this works perfectly fine for me: (press in sequence:) T to tag matching the following pattern ~O the pattern (all "O" messages should now be tagged) ; apply the following to all tagged messages (*) N set "N" flag on tagged messages (*) you should be able to omit this step if you've got "set auto_tag=yes" in your .muttrc AFAIK. I don't know why your 'set mark_old=no' doesn't work. Do you possibly have a folder-hook somewhere that overrides it? m.
