Greetings,

I'm the author of getmail, a POP3 retriever/fetchmail replacement.  One
of my users reports that when getmail delivers messages to an mbox file
while mutt is running, mutt doesn't realize there's new mail in that
mbox file (I don't run into this, as I use Maildirs, and mutt has no
problems with them and new mail).

How does mutt check to see if there's new mail in an mbox file?  When
getmail delivers messages to it, the mtime and size of the mbox would
change.  Is this not enough?  What else should getmail do to be
mutt-friendly?

cc's not necessary; I read the list.

Thanks,

Charles
