'From Bill Leach [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Thanks, both for the information that mutt does not operate the way that I inferred from the docs as well as the suggestion to use the 'set spoolfile=' command to set the inital mailbox for opening. -- best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] from a 1996 Micro$loth ad campaign: The less you know about computers the more you want Micro$oft!

mutt - new mail feature?
'From Bill Leach [EMAIL PROTECTED]' I don't know if I just plain don't understand what the docs are saying or ...

The docs indicate that I should be able to just press the TAB key and go to mailboxes containing new mail... In .muttrc I entered (among other things): set folder=~/Mail . . mailboxes +AmigaSamba +carol +INBOX ext AmigaSamba, carol, INBOX, etc. are mailfolders (accessable to mutt) located in /home/user/Mail/ If I do a 'c', 'TAB' with the above in the .muttrc file then I do get a list of all of the mail boxes listed in the 'mailboxes' command. The box status' even show which have new mail but mutt will not automagically go to these boxes but rather responds with something like no new mail on the status line. Anyone know what I am missing about this? -- best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] from a 1996 Micro$loth ad campaign: The less you know about computers the more you want Micro$oft!
