But your current directory is probably not ~/Mail when you run Mutt. When you are at a folder prompt, and you type some letters and hit tab, Mutt will try to complete from files in your current directory, not the folder directory. You can force Mutt to look in the folder directory by typing the folder character (either + or =) before the folder name. It's a good habit to get into. However, when you press ? to browse for a folder, Mutt recognizes that the most likely place you'll want to look for a folder, is in your folder directory, so it begins browsing from there. -- David DeSimone | The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | that there is no man really clever who has not Hewlett-Packard | found that he is stupid. -- Gilbert K.

I have discussed this with my department's system support, and they point out it could mean alot of additional work getting my various hardware configurations (with docking station, without, etc) set up under Linux. Rather, they suggest running VMWare on Windows and running Linux and Mutt within that -- the opposite of what you are doing. Does anyone out there have experience or insights? Fortunately, I have had experience with this as well. When my co-workers saw what I could do with my Linux version of VMware, they promptly bought the NT version (VMware for Windows is currently an NT technology product). If you purchase the Boxed version, it comes with a CD containing ready to run dsk files of a couple Linux distros. You don't even need to install anything ;-) Unfortunately, the distros that came with it the last time I saw a box purchase were SuSE and Turbolinux. Not exactly the biggest sellers here in the US, but installing a different distro is still pretty easy. Also, I am assuming that the Urlview function would work correctly in the Linux version of Mutt, and that this capability is included in standard Linux distributions? This works for me in both Mandrake 8.1 and RedHat 7.2 without incident. Another option you may want to persue is using cygwin if you are forced to use Windows as your host OS. There are adequate ports of most apps that work fairly well, if just a little unique in the Windows environment. Mutt is included in the cygwin setup. The setup of an MTA to handle outgoing mail is a little different in Windows, but not too difficult. Cygwin also has a port of XFree86 4.1.0 that works pretty well for Windows, and it's a lot cheaper than VMWare (it's free ;-) http://www.cygwin.com/ -- David Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED] msg24910/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Well, the core issue is now you are being notified of new email. It may be necessary to change your setup or habits.

Instead, I have my procmail recipe write a line to a log file when interesting email arrives (i.e. only when one of a few recipes fires). And I have a small window which tails that logfile.
