I have been doing some tests by moving old mails in Inbox/new and testing the different configurations. At the moment, Mutt (which works correctly) moves the mail from Inbox/new to Inbox/cur and appends a ';S' to the name as you say. However, when starting Gnus, new mail is directly moved to Inbox/cur without the Seen flag. And after reading it, the Seen flag is still not appended ! Can it be due to some file locking ? Also, would it help to do some kind of reinitialization of gnus ? -- Alexis Praga, PhD Student (CERFACS) GPG key : 66F9 4BD4 70EC E5D5 2AA4 9097 0673 7CE2 4671 306F
