I'll still maintain that if I CHOOSE to have my refresh take me to a new
message, it should.  For all the normal users you have a experience with,
the mailbox_start value would be set to Do Nothing (a new value I just
created for the sake of keeping the refreshed view the same).  But I have a
reasonable workaround.

You always have the chance that your message view is going to get rearranged
on a refresh (especially in Thread mode, where "Horde frameset" is treated
the same as "Horde Frame Set", but that, I think is the topic for an RFC
enhancement to the IMAP THREAD extension).

But Jan's comment about using the Folder menu will do the trick.  I could
have sworn, not too long ago, that the folder menu got reset to INBOX,
regardless of what folder you were in, which would force you to navigate to
find the current folder.  But it appears to be sticky now, so, with an
AccessKey N, that should do a Refresh and JumpTo new mail.

I get too much mail for that to be feasable (unless Virtual Inbox supports
choosing which folders to include in the Inbox).  I think the AccessKey N
should work (and that either accidentally or intentionally coincides with
other programs Next message command).  Although I just had WHUPS generate a
_New ticket, when my focus was on IMP in another tab..  Have to see if that
was a fluke or is reproducible.
