I launch innumerable copies of mutt without -R, and have never had any conflicts.
Like the original poster, I'm using offlineimap and maildir's entirely.
What kind of conflicts do you get?
- tammer 14y agoIt's something I read when I was getting started with mutt. Perhaps is much less of a deal than I thought, after giving a cursory Google I can't seem to find what I read that gave me that impression and I don't see any major warnings not to.
- dredmorbius 14y agoDefault / typical behavior is for mutt to update the mailbox message state (new, unread, read, replied) when closing the mailbox. Using the -R flag prevents this behavior. Forgetting to do so is more an annoyance than an End of the World Event, but it's an annoyance which can be avoided with a really simple flag use.
