I'm using procmail to make sure list mail goes into the appropriate folder like this: :0: * ^Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/mutt-users Then in my .muttrc I want to know which folders received mail, so I do this: ## "mailboxes" defines the list of folders to be checked for new mail ## Mutt both can show the number of mailboxes with new mail in the index and ## you can cycle through these after giving the "change-folder" command. :-) mailboxes ! +lists mailboxes `for file in ~/Mail/lists/*; do echo -n "+lists/$(basename $file) "; done` but when I use the change folder command, I see nothing that indicates that a mailbox has received mail. also, hitting space bar (as the man page suggests) does nothing. Also, when I go to that mailbox that I know should have received mail, how I can I tell mutt to ONLY show me the new mail, not any other mail? I currently have it sorted by thread. In case it helps, heres a listing of my ~/Mail and ~/Mail/lists dirs: (cconstan@viper): ~% ls -l Mail/ total 14010 -rw------- 1 cconstan 188137 Jun 25 16:28 CSCconsult -rw------- 1 cconstan 81226 Aug 9 08:46 Coops -rw------- 1 cconstan 61721 Aug 22 08:15 DeptMeet -rw------- 1 cconstan 80518 Aug 22 15:45 Solaris -rw------- 1 cconstan 290073 Jun 13 16:02 SpringSurvey01 -rw------- 1 cconstan 154914 Aug 16 12:21 acctsystem -rw------- 1 cconstan 323536 Aug 22 09:39 admin -rw------- 1 cconstan 4765 Jun 25 15:07 apache -rw------- 1 cconstan 5713 Aug 14 12:22 backups -rw------- 1 cconstan 12605 Jun 21 08:52 conflicts -rw------- 1 cconstan 29934 Aug 16 11:52 courseacct -rw------- 1 cconstan 2026 May 29 20:23 develop -rw------- 1 cconstan 8550 Aug 21 08:11 diskdumps -rw------- 1 cconstan 6031970 Jun 27 08:43 dumps -rw------- 1 cconstan 5182173 Aug 13 08:27 dumpweekly -rw------- 1 cconstan 101973 Aug 21 14:19 elwmeet -rw------- 1 cconstan 139734 Aug 10 07:56 fulldumps -rw------- 1 cconstan 147259 Aug 22 16:38 grads -rw------- 1 cconstan 3270 Jul 27 09:39 labs drwx--S--- 2 cconstan 512 Aug 23 08:10 lists -rw------- 1 cconstan 15225 Aug 20 09:32 maildumps -rw------- 1 cconstan 69397 Aug 22 15:10 misc -rw------- 1 cconstan 253514 Aug 21 10:06 netissues -rw------- 1 cconstan 132043 Aug 20 13:51 personal -rw------- 1 cconstan 90500 Aug 22 15:22 printing -rw------- 1 cconstan 5687 Jul 5 10:02 restores -rw------- 1 cconstan 2662 Aug 3 13:56 security -rw------- 1 cconstan 195327 Aug 22 09:46 sent -rw------- 1 cconstan 118041 Aug 21 11:05 software -rw------- 1 cconstan 23465 Jun 21 13:41 spam -rw------- 1 cconstan 100083 Aug 7 15:50 staffers -rw------- 1 cconstan 32697 Aug 22 10:19 systems -rw------- 1 cconstan 29712 Jul 20 15:58 tic -rw------- 1 cconstan 189963 Aug 21 11:05 users -rw------- 1 cconstan 30075 Aug 7 15:52 virusinfo -rw------- 1 cconstan 9631 Jul 16 08:54 waitlists -rw------- 1 cconstan 5497 Aug 15 11:23 web (cconstan@viper): ~% ls -l Mail/lists total 5475 -rw------- 1 cconstan 5553800 Aug 23 06:56 mutt-users -rw------- 1 cconstan 43549 Aug 17 10:12 uvsubnet On a similar note, how can I tell mutt to only show me mail from a certain date? Limit doesn't seem to work for this. Finally, How can I dynamically resort a mailbox. For example, mutt-users is sorted by thread. Say I wanted to sort by date for a second or sort by user while I look for something but the default should still be thread. How can I do that? I'm using Mutt 1.2.5i on solaris 8. advTHANKSance. -- Carl B.
