I looked at this further, and it is definitely not an IMAP bug/feature. The IMAP responses show the correct number of unseen messages. The issue lies in mutt only showing a folder in the buffy list if new mail has arrived since the last time you looked the folder, regardless of the number of unseen messages. The attached patch modifies this behavior so that mutt will always show a folder in the buffy list if there are unseen messages. Ideally, this would be a configurable setting in .muttrc, but this works for me. Mark -- Mark Harrison Systems Administrator OmniTI Computer Consulting, Inc.
