I went back to 1.5.9i, only earlier SUSE rpm that I could find
(x86_64). 1.5.13i removed the 'N' indicators from the folder listing.
The only way to find folders with new posts was to sort on date,
remembering last access time.
Header caching (mbox) also casuses me interactive delays, ie: sluggish
response to keystrokes, sometimes 2-5 seconds. Turn off header_cache
and snappy response returns.
x86_64 X2 4200+ 4GB 2.6.18.2 SMP kernel SUSE 10.1
