Package: mutt
Version: 1.7.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,
I have just updated from 1.5.23-3 and sidebar doesn't show the total
number of messages in a mailbox anymore. I am using
set sidebar_format="%B%* %N/%S"

While new messages are non zero the total number of messages is always 0.
I have tried to check the code but I couldn't wrap my head around the
way how the menu entries are updated so I might be missing something
important here. I can confirm that cb_format_str sees e.g. the following
entry
$2 = {path = "imaps://XXXXX/INBOX/INBOX", '\000' <repeats 222 times>, realpath = "imaps://XXXXX/INBOX.INBOX", '\000' <repeats 222 times>, desc = 0x0, size = 0, 
  next = 0x5575b86b2690, new = 1, msg_count = 0, msg_unread = 100, msg_flagged = 0, notified = 1, magic = 6, newly_created = 0, last_visited = 0, stats_last_checked = 0}

msg_count is 0 while msg_unread > 0 which doesn't make any sense to me.

There seems to be 2 places which set msg_count (in sidebar.c) from the
given/global context (I assume that is the opened mailbox) draw_sidebar
and mutt_sb_set_buffystats.  Both of them fail to do anything. When I
set breakpoint to them (at a line where we do set the value) I never
manage to hit them. This is highly suspicous because I fail to see how I
can get non zero msg_unread then...

A quick check suggests that none of those places hits because 
1: b->realpath = "imaps://XXXXX/INBOX.INBOX", '\000' <repeats 222 times>
2: ctx->realpath = 0x5575b9e50650 "imaps://XXXXX/INBOX/INBOX"

note the . vs / in the path name.

It also seems that the number of new emails (%N) doesn't change over
time as well and it doesn't match what status shows
Sidebar:
INBOX                     97/0

Status bar:
---tiehlicka:=INBOX [489 93N 4U 0T 0D 3.5MB]

status_format="---%h:%f [%M %nN %oU %tT %dD %lB]%>-%v---"

My imap folders are configured as follows:
set folder=imaps://XXXXX/INBOX
set spoolfile=imaps://XXXXX/INBOX.INBOX
unmailboxes *
mailboxes \
        imaps://XXXXX/INBOX.INBOX \
[...]


Let me know if you need a further information.

Thanks!
