I am using procmail to automatically deliver part of my
incoming mail in certain mailboxes. I want mutt to
notify me when any of these mailboxes get new mail,
so I have added
mailbox <my_mailbox>
to my .muttrc.
Mutt does notify me when I run it (in the new=x,
folders with new mail). The problem is that when
I change to that folder and leave without having
read all the new mail, mutt will tell me that
I have no folders with new mail. I have set
set nomark_old
so that the unread mail appears as new when I
enter the mailbox. It does not work either.
I am using mbox-type mailboxes, and I know that
the mutt detects if they have new mail comparing
the modification time with the access time, so
that the problem seems to be that the access time
always changes, even when I have not finished reading
all the mail.
Does anyone have know how could I get mutt to
do what I want? Should I change the mailbox
format (MMDF, MH, Maildir) to do this?
Thanks
