Hi!  I'm using mutt and procmail.  It's an older version of procmail
that didn't natively support maildirs, and so at the time I'd found a
program called safecat, that came with a binary that could be used
with procmail to move mail safely into a Maildir.

I've noticed that I filter mail successfully into at least 6
mailboxes, and I have my ~/Maildir/ as well as 5 other mailboxes in a
seperate ~/Mail/* tree configured in my .muttrc.

Problem is, mutt never tells me that I have new mail in any of the
other mailboxes except for Maildir.

But if I'm in one of the other mailboxes, and I get new mail, mutt
immediately tells me that I have new mail in ~/Maildir.

Is this because the program I'm using to move my mail to my maildirs
is not properly setting some kind of date/time stamp?  Would a newer
version of procmail do better?

or does mutt just not tell you when you have new mail in other
folders, except for ~/Maildir?
