Not that I can see. They appear in the list, but selecting them opens them up with all the mailboxes inside. It also still saw emails that have arrived. Anyway, I went back to my previous one with the addition of -prune. It's ~0.5s instead of the ~0.3s that that one came up with. I can live with that difference. :) Thanks for the tip. > > lee's little C program mutt-mb that he posted in this thread > > Message-ID: <20090721042825.gj27...@cat.rubenette.is-a-geek.com> > > does the job quite well and reasonably fast. Yeah, looks good, but I'm happy enough now. Cygwin managed mount probably puts a lower limit on the time taken.
