Hi again,
The folder interface is annoying me a little in Mutt and am looking for
help in configuring it further.
At the moment I use this macro to switch between folders:
macro index M "c?\t"
macro pager M "c?\t"
1. Is is possible to remove the roughly half-second wait while "Mailbox
is unchanged" flashes in the status line when moving to a different
mailbox?
2. In the mailbox selection screen, there is no quick way to jump to one
of the folders that is not right near the top of the list. I can use
[down] or press the number of the mailbox I want. However either
requires a number of keypresses. If I press the number of a mailbox I
want to go directly to that mailbox and open it, not have to press enter
twice. With the current functionality, to go to mailbox 9 you have to
press 9 [enter] [enter] to get into the mailbox. While not normally a
problem this is annoying when you are switching between mailboxes a few
times in a session.
3. Folders with new mail are not always marked as such in the Mailbox
selection screen. It is useless having a feature that only works half
the time. There is another thread on this so I'll keep track of what's
happening there.
4. Is there much overhead in having Mutt watch a folder for new mail? I have a
number of folders that I would like to come up in the mailbox selection
screen but that don't actually have a procmail recipe sending anything
to them other than when I move a message there. At the moment my
mailboxes line is: "mailboxes ! `echo ~/Mail/*`". But this seems rather
kludgy. Any recommendations?
Thanks for your time!
Chuck
