[Alpine-info] Maildir showing as Empty

[Simon Harrison]

Hello. I'm using Alpine 2.25 compiled with the Maildir patch. 

Everything has been working fine for a few weeks but the other day I
typed:

$ mail -f
"/home/simon/mbox": 0 messages

just to double check that there weren't any lingering messages in
there. When I then opened Alpine, it seemed all my emails had vanished!

[Folder "INBOX" opened with 0 messages]

Running tree showed that they were still there, and running Mutt also
loaded them all correctly. 

So, has anyone any idea what might be going on?

Thanks,

Simon
