Re: How to deal with new mail?
Ahh, I've got it!
It was tracker, indexing the mails! It updated the access time...
I recognized it when I fetched mails and shortly after that pressed '.',
and, surprise surprise, mutt showed the folders with new mails below the
statusbar, just like you said. But after a second, folder after folder
started to dissappear, until no one was left. That was tracker.
I simply configured tracker to not index the mail directory, and now
everything works all right! And I guess I like the way mutt deals with
new mails... When I now press 'c', mutt proposes a folder with new mail
and I just have to hit return!
Who needs virtual folders anyway...
Thank you guys for your support and patience!

Thanks for having a look at my muttrc.
Seems like some useful tips!
