In my experience, Mutt works great on Mac but for one signfiicant
flaw: in the Mailboxes view, it does not properly mark mailboxes with
new mail with an "N" indicator -- even though it does show individual
messages correctly as new in the Message Index view.
I have tried installing Mutt in three different ways on two separate Macs
running Snow Leopard (10.6) -- once with Fink, once with Macports, and once
from source. The version information (attached below) is identical except for
+/-LOCALES_HACK and (of course) the following variables:
PKGDATADIR="/opt/local/share/mutt"
SYSCONFDIR="/opt/local/etc"
PKGDATADIR="/usr/local/share/mutt"
SYSCONFDIR="/usr/local/etc"
PKGDATADIR="/sw/share/mutt"
SYSCONFDIR="/sw/etc"
I would much appreciate any advice. Procmail pre-filters my mail into
numerous folders, and I have missed relatively urgent because I always
relied on "N" to show me which mailboxes had new mail. (In May, I changed
from Windows to Mac after discovering that Cygwin would no longer run on
32-bit processors...).
Many thanks,
Tom
