There are three vars that might be interesting: # variable : timeout (number) # default : 600 # # This variable controls the number of seconds Mutt will wait for # a key to be pressed in the main menu before timing out and checking # for new mail. A value of zero or less will cause Mutt not to ever # time out. # variable : check_new (boolean) # default : yes # # Note: this option only affects maildir and MH style # mailboxes. # # When set, Mutt will check for new mail delivered while the # mailbox is open. Especially with MH mailboxes, this operation can # take quite some time since it involves scanning the directory and # checking each file to see if it has already been looked at. If # check_new is unset, no check for new mail is performed # while the mailbox is open. # variable : mail_check (number) # default : 5 # # This variable configures how often (in seconds) mutt should look for # new mail.
