Philip -- ...and then Philip Mak said... % % 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
Those look like they should get a quick response, even if they might be tough on your server :-) % % 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. How very odd (but isn't screen great? :-) % % 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? In my business we always ask "Is it plugged in?" and so here goes. Have you tried :set ?timeout :set ?mail_check in this folder to make sure that the values are set as you expect? It could be as simple as forgetting to source your muttrc after making the changes :-) :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
