 I found that if procmail feeds new mail into such mboxes and creates them,
 mutt will not get aware of the new mails. Is it a feature?

mutt gets aware of new mail in mailboxes with the mailboxes command,
see chapter 3.11 in the manual.

How to get mutt bark for new created mbox?

2002-03-05 Thread Charles Jie

Hi,

Now I have a mail system with 7 mboxes. Some of them are usually cleared
to empty and removed by mutt.

I found that if procmail feeds new mail into such mboxes and creates them,
mutt will not get aware of the new mails. Is it a feature?

best regards,
charlie

I don't know about that, but you can fix the problem of mutt removing
empty mailboxes by

set save_empty

  I don't know the answer to your actual question, but have you looked
into the $save_empty variable?  Perhaps a workaround could be to not
have mutt remove the mailboxes in the first place...
