mailbox date not updated on sync-mailbox

[lang]

I tend to update my mailbox with the $ (sync-mailbox) command, and then to exit mutt with the x (exit) command.

I just noticed that this leaves the date of the mailbox unchanged.

This is a minor problem, which I did not notice earlier ... but it just created a difficulty in some data management I was doing.

mutt version : Mutt 1.5.11 (2005-09-15)

sorry, I do not have time to install a more recent one for testing. But anyone with a recent version can check this in a minute.

Thanks for the excellent work.

Did you make changes prior to synching? Mutt is lazy and only attempts to touch the target mailbox if something has changed. If nothing changed, not touching it is fine; otherwise you'd even loose the changes you made.

Also, if synching reports an error in your case and you shortly after exit via 'x', you'll also loose your changes ('exit' is not the same as 'quit').
