New mail indicator does ont work. Where does mutt save flags etc?
Hello mutt-users,
The "N" new mail indicator for my mailboxes (all mbox files) does not work
properly.
It appears after a mutt restart even when I have read all new mails and no
mail is marked as new anymore.
OTOH, if I read all new mails in a mailbox and return to the mailbox menu,
the N does not appear, at least for some mailboxes. Only mutt restart brings
it back again.
I have my mutt mailbox files (all mbox) on a vfat partition.
I have filled some of the mailbox files (but not all) with mbox content
before I started to use mutt.
Anyone has an idea what the reason for this problem could be?
And: Where does mutt save meta data such as the mail flags, position in
mailbox, sorting order etc.?
thanks
daniel
