Another data point: in the group buffer, it's very common for me to do `c' on an nnimap group, and see the number of unread messages go to zero, as one would expect. But if I follow that with `g', the number of unread messages returns to the old value. That's why I tend to use the big `C' hammer. The whole experience is really flaky. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
