They are the same flag, and you cannot have a 'seen' message that you also have 'unread'.Hello Not Zed, What I mean from seen but unread messages is that when one has many folders and many new messages, one may open one folder, maybe read a few messages and leave the rest of the messages as unread ( seen but unread ) and later wants to read them.
so... you mean you have a folder with say 10 unread messages, then you read 5, and then switch to another folder (and thus 5 remain unread)?
Well, In mutt one can set this option.
switching folders won't change the read/unread status of messages which haven't been opened. so what option does there need to be?
I searched through all the settings of evo but couldn't find one. I think one dosen't exists. The reason I needed this was that since I read the mails intermittently, where I even have to switch my box, when I return to evo the flag new is gone and it's not possible to know if I have read them.
sure it is, if they are bold with a envelope icon that isn't opened, then you haven't read them yet. -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Novell, Inc. fejj ximian com - www.novell.com
