Johan, what is the value of `vm-auto-get-new-mail' in your configuration? What happens if you set it to `t'?

It is set to 120, to initiate mail fetching eveyr two minutes.

No mail is fetched automatically and, logically, no window raise.

Ok, that is your immediate workaround. Using a timer to fetch mail is
expected to be disruptive, as far as I can see. The code for it is not
written carefully to minimize disruption.

On the other hand, I couldn't reproduce your window-raising situation. When
you say the "window" raises, do you mean an Emacs window or a GUI window
(also called a "frame")? You will need to file a vm-submit-bug-report so
that I can check your settings.

Cheers,
Uday

Normally, I have a single frams (GUI window) I work in. In this frame
I can switch between buffers. When I switch to a buffer, it occupies
the whole (C-x 1) or part (C-x 2) of the frame.

The only disruption in 8.1.1 is a minibuffer message, which is
minimally disruptive, if at all.

In 8.1.2, the summary window is switched to (I called this 'raised'
which may be confusing), as if I executed the appropriate C-x b
command. This is very disruptive.
