I run mutt (Mutt 1.2.5i (2000-07-28)) on machine A but my mailbox is on machine B. I share the mail directory on machine B via samba to machine A. (I know, using samba to talk between two linux boxes seems odd, but, samba is necessary for the windows boxes so I use it for everyone.) Sitting at machine B, when a letter arrives in the mailbox, mutt automatically updates the screen so you can see the new mail. However, this update doesn't work when I am using machine A. I have to restart mutt to get the update.
I suppose this is some awkward interaction between mutt and samba. I am not sure where to start. Is there some simple command in mutt to reread the mailbox? Any insight appreciated. Joel
