Re lists, I'm guessing it has to do with 1.3.1 at http://mutt.sourceforge.net/imap/ 1.3.1. Polling for new mail This works the same as normal mail, with a couple of caveats. You add mailboxes you'd like to check for mail using the mailboxes command. If you've set your folder as above, you can do mailboxes =lists/mutt-dev =lists/mutt-users to poll for mail in imap://hostname/lists/mutt-dev and imap://hostname/lists/mutt-users. The caveats: * Mutt will scan for new mail in all of your mailboxes every * mail_check seconds. The default is 5 seconds, which will make mutt * feel very sluggish if you have more than a couple of mailboxes * defined. You'll like mutt better if you increase this to at least * 60. * Mutt checks for mail in the current IMAP mailbox no more ofter * than timeout seconds. The default is 600, which means you will * only get notified about new mail in your current mailbox every 10 * minutes. You may wish to lower this to something like 15.
