But does it do anything? That code is in 
bmbl_store_add_mbnode()--is the mailbox ever open when it's 
called?  Also, if we're showing message counts, we need to make 
sure they're kept current, which may call for some wider changes.

Have you selected `Remember open mailboxes between sessions', as 
well as `Open inbox upon startup'? If so, what you're seeing is a 
feature: the first mailbox you see in one session is the last one 
you opened in the previous one--you wouldn't want it any other 
way, would you?

By all means--that always helps to focus people's attention!  
BTW, the failure to update the total message count on Outbox is 
an example of what I mentioned above--not keeping message counts 
current.  Moving messages around by applying filters has the same 
effect.
