\r
86 Yes, thanks for clarifying.
\r
88 I realise now that I lied about the behaviour that I was seeing.
\r
90 I use the default tag:inbox search, but archive all the mails 'a' as I
\r
91 read them, using other tags to keep track of things I want to come back
\r
94 That means that 'inbox' behaves the way I described 'unread' to behave
\r
95 for me. I see the new messages as the old ones had their 'inbox' tag
