 Package: mutt
 Version: 1.4i
 Severity: normal

 -- Please type your report below this line

 Here's what happens:
 - mutt tells me there's new mail in mbox "a"
 - I switch to this mbox and read the mail there
 - I switch back to my inbox
 - mutt tells me that there's new mail in mbox "a" again
 - I check, and there isn't any new mail.

 First I thought it was a permission problem. I fiddled with permissions
 which
 didn't give me a solution. Then I waded through the news/mailinglist
 archives.
 I did find some related postings, but none of them solved my problem (I
 don't
 have something like 'xbiff' monitoring for new mail). I also tried the
 #mutt
 irc-channel, but no one responded to my question.

 In short: what am I going to to do fix this 'weird behavior' ? Any help is
 greatly appreaciated.

     Bas <bas.vangils@xxxxxxx>
