I've just noticed that the number is actually updated on the mailboxes
if I do the following: say I have two mailboxes A,B,C.
If I enter A, read some new messages and then press y,the number is not
decrased.If then I enter B and read some messages and then again press
y, the number of A is *now* correctly decreased.
So I must visit some *other* mailboxes in order to have the number of
messages in another mailbox correctly updated ? This is a strange
behaviour.
Am I not well understand the meaning of $timeout ??
The mailboxes view is either a menus or in an interactive prompt ???
thanks
