I wasn't very clear. Pine works great with IMAP and I can see all my mailboxes. Procmail sends email to different mailboxes but Pine only informs me about new mail in the INBOX, not the others. I am looking for a command-line solution to polling all my mailboxes.
Thanks! Paul
Two solutions:
1) Turn on comsat notifications: 'biff y'
and in your .procmailrc, make the filtered email sound a comsat alarm. Here's an example of how I do it:
:0:
* (^TO_.*)linux-kernel.*kernel.org
{
COMSAT=no
:0
LKML
}If you *want* notifications, just say COMSAT=yes. The LKML is way too verbose for that :)
2) Sometimes I run a script that checks all mbox files in ~/mail/ for new messages, the prints a color coded output of each folder. Looks like this (but in color):
INBOX 2 unchanged since: Jun 9 16:52 |
support 2 unchanged since: Jun 9 16:42 |
linuxteam 294 unchanged since: Jun 9 15:32 |
The numbers are the amount of unread messages. You can grab the script, and modify to taste from here:

Might want this too (wget, don't copy & paste):

Some people like the script, some don't. Neither are really ideal solutions ..but work well enough. I rarely use pine/mh/mutt anymore since I discovered how nice thunderbird is.
