Bug#514208: mutt does not reconizer don't mark as old over IMAP
Package: mutt Version: 1.5.18-4 Severity: important Hello Maintainer, I have set the option, that mutt does not show messages as old, if I was in the folder and then while open another one and come back to the previously. Now, mutt does not recognizer thos messages as unread which it should since the messages where not opened... A tcpdump show me, that courier-imap transmit the values correctly but mutt does not recognizer it which is very annoying, sind my little mailfolder whatcher written with libmet-imap-simple-perl does it right and see the messages as unread... I have set the severity the important since if your business relay on a working MUA, this bug is more then only annoying...

Bug#514208: mutt does not reconizer don't mark as old over IMAP
severity 514208 normal tag 514208 +moreinfo thanks Hi Michelle, we need more info for this bug. First of all, the bug is unreproducible on my mutt (1.5.18-4), I've created an empty .muttrc with the following options: --- set folder=imaps://[...] set spoolfile=imaps://[...] set mark_old=no --- In this case the old flag is not displayed and the messages are still unread (N[ew]). Some questions: *) Does this happen when you open mutt or only when you switch mailbox? *) Are your messages shown as Old when you go back to the previous mailbox even if mark_old is set to no? Please attach your .muttrc. By default mark_old is set to yes, so I'll downgrade the severity to 'normal', but don't worry your bug will be worked as the others.

Here too... Some questions: *) Does this happen when you open mutt or only when you switch mailbox? Open and switching... I have encountered a grave bug... I have more then 3000 unread messages in my mailfolders... It seems that it has something to do with the malloc() bug... Explanation: I have for each mailinglist ony mailfolder like imaps://mail.private/INBOX.ML_debian.devel/ INBOX.ML_debian.mentors/ INBOX.ML_debian.user-german/ all of those mailfolesr arein mailboxes with mailboxes =.ML_debian.devel/ mailboxes =.ML_debian.mentors/ mailboxes =.ML_debian.user-german/ I have MANY mailboxes (exactly to files of 213 for the technic mailinglists and 592 the standard one). Now while mutt is checking for new mail in the boxes. Courier-Imap move automaticaly messages from the /new/ folder to the /cur/ folder but unread. Now if mutt crash because the malloc() bug it lost its memory and forget that there are messages unread... This sound weird, because the mark_old=no and should only affect mutt, if it read the Maildir physicaly... However it seems to be a misunderstanding between courier and mutt about unread unread messages since thunderbird, libnet-imap-simple-perl and uw-imap-client do the right thing. The same happen to my BTS account, in which I subscribed to any packages I have installed on any of my computers... 687 source packages! *) Are your messages shown as Old when you go back to the previous mailbox even if mark_old is set to no? No, if I go manualy into the mailfolder they are shown as NEW. Please attach your .muttrc. Goog luck, I will attach the whole .mutt/ directory as TAR archive... By default mark_old is set to yes, so I'll downgrade the severity to 'normal', but don't worry your bug will be worked as the others. If I set mark_old=yes it is the same effect... and if I enter the folder manualy I can not use TAB to switch to the next unread messages because they are marked O and not N... This setting is definitively not what I want. Imagine, you have a folder with Business-Mail which comes in the box INBOX.Business/ Now you have gotten a new contact and setup a new filter and move the message into it... Now you have to search some other messages maybe stored in another folder and move it to the new created folder. And what happen now? -- any other UNREAD messages in the Business folder are not more recognized as unread and if you switch into the folder manualy, you see, the messages are definitively marked as NEW N This mean you can not more switch back to the folder using a simple cENTER (next folder with unread messages) which sould be the first of your Business structure...

Bug#514208: mutt does not reconizer don't mark as old over IMAP
Hi Michelle, sorry if I ask again other questions but I want to be 100% sure that we are on the same page. As far as I understood the problem is this: 1) you open mutt and browse your mailbox 2) while you do so, courier-imap move the messages from new/ to cur/ on the remote maildir 3) these messages are shown as unread Now, all these things are correct. From what I understood what happens now is that if mutt crashes it loses the Unread status for these messages, so they are marked as Read. Correct?

Since I have to use mutt all the day, and we have the Lenny release before us, I have no other chance as to help. :-) As far as I understood the problem is this: 1) you open mutt and browse your mailbox 2) while you do so, courier-imap move the messages from new/ to cur/ on the remote maildir 3) these messages are shown as unread Now, all these things are correct. Right From what I understood what happens now is that if mutt crashes it loses the Unread status for these messages, so they are marked as Read. Correct? No, they stay N NEW/unread But in the next time I start mutt, it does not more recognizer the messages as new. My analysis tell me, that this has something to do with header caching. If the next crash occurs, I will remove the last 30 generated header cache-files and check, whether my theorie applys...
