Hi,

does anyone else, whilst using mutt, have the problem where you read
your new email - then change to another mailbox, *then* mutt tells you
that you have new email in the mailbox you just read!?

It seems to only happen when I:

  a) receive email in, say, =mi
  b) change to, and read email in =mi
  c) hit 'c' to change to next-unread mailbox
  d) mutt says "New mail in imap://yeled@localhost/"
  e) I 'c' back there to =mi and there is no New email - but there are 
  	 some Old 'unread' emails (ie "O" status in mutt)

I've attached the IMAP logs. Of special note is the RECENT after the
thread 'a1192' in the file 203.018.243.123.00143-203.031.232.002.57

	a1192 OK Status completed.
	* STATUS "mi" (RECENT 1)
	a1193 OK Status completed.


I believe it's telling mutt that there is a new email in "mi" after I've
just read it! 

	a1184 OK Status completed.
	* 890 FETCH (UID 901 BODY[] {3661} 
^^this is the email I just read, and is now "New" again. Subject: test2


Is this a mutt or dovecot bug/feature?

Regards,
  C.
