Oh, yeah, didn't make that clear ;-)
Nothing happened...not without coaxing.
If I forced a change to the directory, then it worked - but there
wouldn't be a change to the directory in normal operation, other than by
mail population?

Hi,
I'm currently running getmail in a cron job every 2 minutes, so I was
quite intrigued by this on the wiki:

Thing is - I couldn't see how it would work and, when I tried it, it
didn't work (at least not for me).
What exactly did happen?
It details using incrontab to monitor /home/username/.maildir/cur in
order to trigger getmail.
However, "cur" won't change unless populated with mail...as an initial
result of actually running getmail? Seems like a chicken and egg
situation.
access != change
I reckon I'm missing something fundamental :-), but what is it?
Ta.
