After glancing again, it looks like a space might fix that bit of script. Maybe it's copied wrong or something and should be more like this: mailboxes `for file in ~/mail/*; do echo -n "$(basename $file) "; done` I like that idea actually because I have a list of mailboxes that changes weekly. :) I still feel like I'm not understanding a bit of this thread though. I always start up mutt with the -y switch so I *can* see which folders contain new mail. Although of course, once those folders have been entered, that N (for new messages) will not be there anymore. Using the last file access time as a way to determine new messages seems odd for such a versatile MUA like mutt because all sorts of things can mess with the access time (Nautilus, etc.).
