Greetings, As I have understood I am not the only one who wishes to use xbiff to announce new mail instead of Mutt, I assume someone of you know what goes on in the new version 1.2. It seems to me that it no longer is possible to turn off the timeout by using a value of zero or less. A quick grep in the source for 'Timeout' gives: (among others) curs_lib.c: if (Timeout) keymap.c: timeout ((Timeout > 0 ? Timeout : 60) * 1000); To me this looks like negative values are not treated the same as zero, and that one cannot be without a timeout. But since I don't read the full code I cannot really say :) My experience from using timeout=0 in both 1.0 and 1.2 is that it gives me a timeout only in 1.2. So maybe this fix(?) with a forced timeout isn't taken care of later to avoid unwanted mail-checks? Can anyone of you point out my error? or duplicate the behavior? Using a very high timeout-value solves my 'problem' though.. /Ulf
