Re: new mail in folder overview
Roel Vanhout ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said something to this effect on 02/15/2001: Anyway, my question of the day is if there is a better way to detect new mail in the folder view. According to the manual new mail is detected by checking the access time of the folder, but I also have a mailchecker applet running so this is not good. I would also like to detect not only new mail, but also 'old' new mail (marked with O instead of N). This doesn't seem to be possible by using %N in the folder_format. I use Maildir to store my mail in. Would there be a way to use an external program to check for new mail? I could write my own script to go through all 'new' directories. I got around this problem by setting mark_old to no, which tells mutt not to mark new messages with an 'O' when I leave the folder without reading them. When I come back they are still marked 'N'. I believe %N matches these "new" messages. (darren) -- There are trivial truths and there are great Truths. The opposite of a trival truth is obviously false.

new mail in folder overview
Hi all, First thanks to all for suggesting me procmail recipes for the problem I had a few days ago with my double mail, but I use maildrop so I just took 15 minutes and went through it by hand :-) Anyway, my question of the day is if there is a better way to detect new mail in the folder view. According to the manual new mail is detected by checking the access time of the folder, but I also have a mailchecker applet running so this is not good. I would also like to detect not only new mail, but also 'old' new mail (marked with O instead of N). This doesn't seem to be possible by using %N in the folder_format. I use Maildir to store my mail in. Would there be a way to use an external program to check for new mail? I could write my own script to go through all 'new' directories. Thanks. cheers, roel

Folder overview ?
Hi there, I'm missing an incoming folders overview. Procmail is spooling the incoming mail to different folders. How do I detect, which folders content new mail without entering each? Cu. Daniel

* Daniel Kollar [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000816 16:58]: I'm missing an incoming folders overview. Procmail is spooling the incoming mail to different folders. How do I detect, which folders content new mail without entering each? Put something like the following into your muttrc: mailboxes ! =linux-users =mutt-users ... Pressing "c" change-folder and "?" will show a mailbox overview, where folders containing new messages have a "N" in front of their name. BTW, mutt has a pretty good manual...
