Welcome home :-) % % I'm using fetchmail to yank the mail and procmail to process it. That % part is going quite well. I see mail accretion in my defined folders.

I suspect that there is some other process that is looking at your mail files and thus updating the access time -- and thereby messing up mutt's idea of whether or not you have new mail. Without getting into the old argument (you can find it quite a few times in the archives, I'm sure), I'll simply note that mutt considers a folder to have new mail if its modification time (when the mail was dumped onto the end of it) is later than its access time (the last time anything, presumably mutt, looked at it). You can compare the two values with ls -l and ls -lu (or by using the --time= argument in the GNU version) and set the two values with touch -m and touch -a as well; updating the modification time (or backdating the access time) of a file should then get it to show new mail in our mutt browser, while then updating the access time or even just using cat to dump the file to /dev/null should make it clear the newness. % % BTW: Is there any way to colorize the 'folder browser' view? That'd % be very handy. Not AFAIK but, then again, I don't use colors. % % Thanks, HTH & HAND % % Steven :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
