Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.18-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

The count of new messages in the folder overview seems to be
fundamentally broken, at least for IMAP folders.

I believe that the issue is related to bugs #428734 and #432148. But as
you closed #428734 with the upload of mutt 1.5.16-3, and #432148 is
somewhat different, I decided to open a new bugreport.

I also have to admit that the bug exists since a long long time, and I
don't know whether the new message count worked as expected once at all.

When I browse the folder-overview with 'y' or with a macro defined as
'<change-folder>?<tab>', I get the list of all mailboxes defined in my
muttrc, but the count of new messages is always 0 for remote IMAP
folders, and for local Maildir folders I don't even get a count at all:

 1   0                                 imaps://imapserver/INBOX/admin
 2   0                                 imaps://imapserver/INBOX/caughtspam
 3   0                                 imaps://imapserver/INBOX/jonas

Additionally, the buffy-list feature sometimes doesn't work correctly.
It usually prints a list of all folders containing new mail, but
sometimes it only prints some of the folders with new mail.

This is very annoying, as I have to go through all folders to check for
new mail if I can rely neither on buffy-list nor on the new message
count in the folder overview.

The imap server is running courier-imap(-ssl) 4.1.1.20060828-5 on
debian/etch.

If you need any additional information, or if you want me to do further
debugging steps, pleas let me know.
I also can send you a stripped down version of my .muttrc (without the
personal parts).

greetings,
 jonas
