Re: New Mail while in Folder View - checks variables
* Dean Richard Benson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-03-15 12:36]: Using the most recent version and starting mutt via mutt -y to default to the folder list. It shows me which folders have new mail in with the N character, but this never updates unless I a) exit and restart mutt b) go into a folder and then back to the folder list Is this the expected operation or have a fscked up? :) It's a feature. When you are ready to read new mails then simply give mutt some command like change-folder. Also, there's the sync-mailbox command which forces mutt to update the current mailbox. And then there are these variables for checking for new mail: check_new mail_check pop_checkinterval I'm sure you will be able to make ue of these. but if you need *immediate* notification then check the page in my signature.

New Mail while in Folder View
Hi all First time poster, so please be gentle! :) I have just upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Mutt. Using the most recent version and starting mutt via mutt -y to default to the folder list. It shows me which folders have new mail in with the N character, but this never updates unless I a) exit and restart mutt b) go into a folder and then back to the folder list Is this the expected operation or have a fscked up? :) If you need any more details, please let me know. Thanks Dean
