I have the following lines in my .muttrc file: set mail_check=5 # check for new mail every 5 seconds set timeout=10 # if no keypress in 10 seconds, check for new mail
It doesn't seem to work correctly always, though. What's been happening is that I run screen and I leave multiple instances of mutt open in different folders. I'm inside the mutt that reads ~/Maildir/. I save a message into the =done folder. 10 minutes later, I switch to the mutt in the =done folder but it doesn't show the message that I just saved until I press a key. Any idea why?
