mutt + thunderbird

[Bas van Gils]

Hi all,

I've always used mutt for reading my E-mail and been very satisfied with it.
For several reasons I've decided to experiment a little bit with other tools,
most notably Thunderbird. My current setup is:

  if ( @work ) {
    use TB
  } else {
    login with ssh and use mutt
  }

In ~/Mail I've set-up symlinks to the appropriate mbox-files in TB's
directories. At first glance things seem to work just fine. However, I got the
impression that the "compact folders" option of TB doesn't work the way it
should. Here are the steps to reproduce my little problem:

  - send an E-mail to myself
  - make sure TB pops the mail
  - delete the mail, hit 'compact folders' and exit TB
  - fire up mutt => the mail is still there and marked as NEW

This behavior is a little bit odd and annoying. All help is appreciated,

Yours,

  Bas
