Mutt uses dot locking (as per Debian policy) when rewriting a mailbox, so no two mutt processes can actually write concurrently. I've done a quick test, and have been unable to get an actually corrupt mailbox; the only thing that happened was that if copy A succeeded in writing, copy B would give a 'corrupt mailbox' error.

Exactly. But probably {we,you,the mutt author} should think about preventing such concurrently running mutts. At least let's issue a warnung (a la vim). Imagine, one mutt is started. The second mutt is started. In the second mutt you carefully delete 123 out of 538 messages (tag them as deleted, not actually sync the mailbox). Inside the first mutt the mailbox is synced.

Basically, my idea was to re-parse the folder if the mailbox was "externally modified", and then try to guess which messages where in the mailbox before the change by comparing the "message-id:" fields, and restore the flags accordingly. The obvious problems with this approach would be that (1) not all messages have a "message-id:" field (this is the case f.i. for messages obtained by splitting a digest with formail), and (2) the "message-id:"'s are not necessarily unique, since you can have more than one copies of the same message in the same mailbox. There is nothing we can do about either of them. Still, this solution seems better than the current behaviour...

The obvious problems with this approach would be that (1) not all messages have a "message-id:" field (this is the case f.i. for messages obtained by splitting a digest with formail), and (2) the "message-id:"'s are not necessarily unique, since you can have more than one copies of the same message in the same mailbox. There is nothing we can do about either of them. Still, this solution seems better than the current behaviour...

(2) The hard way, fixing the terminfo entry: - press ^V at the shell prompt to see what character your key generates in "xterm", and note that value as above; - do an infocmp >file - edit "file" and change kbs=^H (or whatever) to kbs=\177 (or whatever your key generates) - add lines TERMINFO=$HOME/.terminfo export TERMINFO to your ~/.profile, and also run them on the command line in order to take effect in the current session too (adapt this to your shell if you're not using /bin/sh); - do a tic file Everything should be ok after that.
