Subject: INBOX recent messages

Hello.

I have a question regarding recent messages.

When I open a folder other than INBOX, newly arrived messages are shown
as 'recent'. When I go back to this folder after visiting some other,
the previously mentionned messages are not recent anymore.

Why isn't the same behaviour with INBOX ? Recent messages in it keep
this state until I close my pine session. Opening other folders and
going back to INBOX does not clear the 'recent' status.

Any explanation ?

Thanks.

More info:

- pine 4.58,

- incoming-folders feature is on,

- all folders including INBOX are located on an UW-IMAP 2002e server,
  using MBX format,

- deliveries are done on the server with procmail+dmail,

The INBOX is never closed during your Pine session. So there are no
messages that are New but not seen since the last session, since it's
the same session.

I did not know this.

Thanks.
