Subject: Incoming Folders, New Messages

From: James Cummings <[email-masked]>

I've enabled incoming folders; I've added a number of
folders that get new messages filtered to them as
incoming folders; I've enabled cruise mode.

Sitting in my INBOX, I finish reading new messages
and press tab.  This takes me to a number of the
other folders, but misses out some of the incoming
folders that I know (if I check manually) have
messages marked as New in them.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, why does
it only seem to want to take me to the same few
folders each time?

Many thanks,
-james

Do you have enable-fast-recent-test set? If so, try unsetting it
and see if that helps.

James,

Do you have any program that is monitoring those folders for new mail? Are
those folders local or remote?

When you say that there is a message that is marked New, do you mean that
that message was not in the folder the last time that you opened it (I
mean closed it, indeed)?. If the message was there the last time that you
were in that folder, but did not read it, the message is not NEW for the
purposes of this test (even though Pine may tell you that it's new because
it has a "N" next to it). If you think that this is your problem, I
recommend you that you switch your index-format variable so that you use
the IMAPSTATUS token instead of the STATUS token. For more information on
this press M S C, move the cursor to index-format and press "?". Messages
that are new for the purposes of the TAB test are marked N, and those that
were in the folder the last time you closed it, but did not read are
marked "U" (Unseen).
