Currently, I can find new mail when I press "c" and I look at the modify
date/time of the list of folders. Another mutt user told me that when I
receive new mail, the bottom status line should tell me that I have
received new mail. It does not. I suspect this is because I run
procmail in daemon mode, so mutt cannot know (unless it was constantly
checking the timestamp). Is this correct?
Also, when I press the "c" key, he told me I should get a list of
folders with new mail. Instead, I get the entire list. I have it
sorted reverse date, so I just use my thinking cap and figure out where
the new messages are (that and a tail -f procmaillog in the next
window). But I would like to make it work the way he described. Again,
is running procmail as a daemon causing this to not work properly?
