% Greetings,
Hello!
%
% I'm the author of getmail, a POP3 retriever/fetchmail replacement. One
% of my users reports that when getmail delivers messages to an mbox file
% while mutt is running, mutt doesn't realize there's new mail in that
% mbox file (I don't run into this, as I use Maildirs, and mutt has no
% problems with them and new mail).
In fact, mutt has no known problems other than PEBKAC with new mail in
any mailbox format.
%
% How does mutt check to see if there's new mail in an mbox file? When
% getmail delivers messages to it, the mtime and size of the mbox would
% change. Is this not enough? What else should getmail do to be
% mutt-friendly?
That is exactly what needs to be done, and no more.
%
% cc's not necessary; I read the list.
This has come up a couple of times in the past couple of months. If you
don't still have the messages around, you might enjoy a trip through the
archives.
%
% Thanks,
HTH & HAND
