Well, the new mail indicator of the _messages_ is not the problem. I have
set this already.
I'm speaking of the new mail indicator of the _mailboxes_ here.
Even if there are "N"-marked messages in a mailbox, the "N" of the _mailbox_
is not set anymore if I leave the mailbox but did not read all "N"ew
messages (which remain "N"-marked).

mbox. I had a problem that the new mail indocator for mbox files did not
work at all, when I had these files on vfat (there are no two different date
fileds to compare in vfat). Now I have them on ext2 and it basically works.
But I still have the problems decribed in my last mail.
thanks
