Hmm not exactly. I'm in foo/, read mail and go back to the message index by
pressing
`c'. I have set
macro index,pager c "<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" \
"open a different folder"
Now in the message index (after some time, new mail has arrived) I see that
foo/ and bar/ are flagged with 'N'. I use the j and k keys (or <up> and
<down>) to go to bar/, press Return to enter bar/, but I end up in foo/. This
happens only if foo/ got new mail after I left it the first time.

Maildir.
set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder=~/Maildir
set spoolfile=~/Maildir

mailboxes +foo +bar +stuff

I hope you can give me some hints about what I could do to find out what's
going on here as this little thing can be really annoying :) Thanks!
