            Bug ID: 3911
           Summary: When reading a new folder, also read its sequences
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: other
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Folders/MH
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: shai at platonix.com

When adding a new mailbox from an existing MH folder, Claws does not seem to
take heed of existing .mh_sequences files. All the messages in the folder show
up as new. if one visits the folder in Claws, then the "unseen" sequence is set
to match what Claws was showing. 

I haven't tried yet replying to a message in such a folder, but I surmise I'll
see the same behavior: Existing sequence completely ignored, status generated
within Claws reflected in .mh_sequences later.

This makes porting one's mail from another client harder than it could be.

On a related note, it could probably be useful to read these sequences on
startup, to allow scripts and other tools to change message states, but that
may be more dangerous and seems of less immediate value.
