Did you check into your inbox dir? There are files in it? I mean you have to look with a file browser. If the mail messages aren't there then the problem is not with mutt but with some other piece of your mail system (fetchmail or procmail). > Here is my muttrc > ------------ > set mbox_type=Maildir > set spoolfile=~/.maildir/ > set move=no > > set pager_context=1 > set pager_index_lines=6 #show a mini-index in pager > set menu_scroll > set pgp_verify_sig=no #dont show pgp in pager > set status_on_top #put status line at top > set sort=threads #sort by message threads in > index > > set status_format=" %r %b %f %n Del %d Msgs %m %l %> (%P)" > set pager_format="%-10.10i %[!%a %b %d %R]" > set date_format="!%H:%M %a %d %b " > set index_format="%4C %Z %[%b%d] %-15.15F %s" > set folder_format="%2C %t %8s %d %N %f" > > #set sendmail="/usr/bin/nbsmtp -d isp.net -h smtp.isp.net -f > [EMAIL PROTECTED]" > > #set from="default-mailaddress" #set to your from address > #set realname="myname" > > set record="$HOME/.maildir/sent" #sent mail is saved here > set delete=yes #delete without prompting > set include=yes #quote msg in reply > set fast_reply=yes #no prompting on reply > set beep=no #no noise > set markers=no #no + on wrapped lines > set confirmappend=no #no prompt for save to =keep > set to_chars=" +TCF" #no L for mail_list > > set folder = $HOME/.maildir > mailboxes =Private/Linux/gentoo-user > mailboxes =Private/Linux/gentoo-new > mailboxes =Private/Linux/asterisk-users > mailboxes =duplicates > mailboxes =inbox > mailboxes =friends > mailboxes =junk > mailboxes =spam > mailboxes =keep > > > save-hook .* =keep #default mbox to (s)ave mail is > =keep > subscribe gentoo-user asterisk-users #subscribed to these lists > > bind pager h display-toggle-weed #toggle headers with h key > > # simulate the old url menu > macro index \cb |urlview\n 'call urlview to extract URLs out of a > message' > macro pager \cb |urlview\n 'call urlview to extract URLs out of a > message' > > #run fetchmail by hitting key of G > macro index G "!fetchmail -ak -m 'procmail -d %T'\r" > macro pager G "!fetchmail -ak -m 'procmail -d %T'\r" The problem could be here. Try the command and read the log files of both procmail and fetchmail (and BTW, you can also use the syntax: macro index,pager G ...).
