Re: Wildcards in the mailboxes command?
I'm subscribed to many mailing lists and I love the idea of mutt
telling me which mailboxes have new mail. However, that would make the
mailboxes line be yet another list of subscriptions that I would have
to keep up to date. What I really want to do is something like:
mailboxes ! =*
Is it possible to do this? If not, consider it a feature request. :)
weasel@marvin:~$ grep mailboxes .mutt/muttrc
mailboxes /var/spool/mail/weasel `echo
$HOME/.Mail/{IN,People*,Projects*,Debian*,Maillists*,Newsletters*,Cron*,Errors*,spam}`
I don't think this works as expected. It will only see the folders that
actually exist when mutt is started (and .muttrc parsed). It won't pick
up any folders that come into being while mutt is running.

note the ! (exclamation mark, is it?). Now it will show an N in the "change

Mutt in batch mode
