The idea behind the find is to let the list be generated for you. This tells mutt to watch every file under your $HOME/Mail directory except for those excepted in the parens. % lines, but I woundn't mind having those others (i.e. sent, % postponed, trash, etc...) do I have to make those before hand? The reason to leave these out is because new mail is rarely delivered to those files; they are where you put mail either as you're writing it or once you're done with it. In fact, I only deliver to $HOME/Mail/F.* (a ten-year-old convention for 'F'older that is now to ingrained to change to I.* or some such :-) as well as my inbox, so my mailboxes line is simply mailboxes $MAIL `echo $HOME/Mail/F.*` and should be faster than a find -- which is what really matters to me. % Will mutt create those for me when I use a command line like % that? No, it won't; you're just telling mutt where to look for new mail. I'm not sure if mutt will notice a file that is created after it's mentioned in the mailboxes line, either; you'll have to check. If you just touch the file(s) once, that oughta do you (oh, and set save_empty). % % Steve % -- % E-Mail: Steven Schneider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> % URL: http://www.jetnet.ab.ca/users/schnes % % -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- % Version: 3.1 % GS d? s: !a?
