Why would this be? May be It sounds like your $timeout is set too high (or to zero). AIUI, mutt checks for new mail 1) when you press a key and after $mail_check seconds since the last check and 2) after a certain period of inactivity. Check the manual and your settings. If you're using an IMAP connection or browsing a POP3 connection, the interval variable names are different. % coincidental, but it seems when I have left it for a while. Also % could be coincidental, but it seems to have happened since I moved % from 1.3.27 to 1.3.28. *That* part is odd; nothing has changed there. ...and then Ken Weingold said... % % Also, it seems that after I start using it again after being idle, I % get notified of new mail as it should. Aha -- as soon as you press a key. Yep; check your timeouts. % % % -Ken :-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!
