Thanks for your hint! I've gave it a look... Even if my "C" skills are not good at all... And unfortunately I haven't understood anything more related to my reported issue. :( It seems that my sentence (reported by mbox manual) was not completely wrong: --- if mtime > atime ---> mailbox has new mail --- Am I wrong? Anyway in my muttrc I've not setted check_mbox_size nor mail_check_recent variable, they has default value (boolean: no for the first and yes for the second one, maybe here is the matter..). manual.txt says: ---- 3.119. mail_check_recent Type: boolean Default: yes When set, Mutt will only notify you about new mail that has been received since the last time you opened the mailbox. When unset, Mutt will notify you if any new mail exists in the mailbox, regardless of whether you have visited it recently. When $mark_old is set, Mutt does not consider the mailbox to contain new mail if only old messages exist. --- I'll try to set this variable to "no"... and report if something changes. See you! :)
