IMAP new mail detection even & oddity
Hello,
If one has multiple IMAP accounts on a single server, each account
having a folder (or more) declared in "mailboxes" statements, and new
mails exist in all those folders, in Mutt CVS mailboxes browser the %N
expando shows the correct number of new mails... of 1 over 2 accounts
(the odd ones). The others (even ones) show 0. Odd and even seemingly in
the order of mailboxes statements in muttrc. Also seemingly, multiple
folders in one account will either all have a right %N, or all have 0,
depending on the account odd or even. Example muttrc:
| unset imap_passive
| mailboxes imap://login1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/INBOX/
| mailboxes imap://login2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/INBOX/
...mutt -y prompts for all passwords in turn:
| Password for login1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [censored]
| Password for login2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [undisclosed]
...but shows new count only in 1st account (and 3rd, 5th, etc):
| 1 1 imap://login1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/INBOX/
| 2 0 imap://login2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/INBOX/
Fleature or PEBKAC?
Bye! Alain.
