Look at the fcc-hook in the mutt manual. You can do monthly outboxs using something like (untested) fcc-hook . outbox.`date +%b-%Y` > I'm looking at having Mail::Audit parse out my mail to various folders. > Is there a convenient way to watch for traffic in these folders without > entering each one? Mutt will poll folders set in mailboxes using the period set with set mail_check=5 # how often to poll for new mail you can also have a window open with tail on a mail::audit log. One Advantage of Maildir at this point. Because it has a seperate folder for new mail, simply looking t see the new mail doesn't stop mutt from seeing that folder as having new mail (ie unlike mbox it isn't simply using atime vs mtime). > > I appreciate all the help! > No problem, HTH Michael -- Dr Michael A.
