Hmm, since I've switched to Maildirs, mutt doesn't inform me anymore when new messages arrive. Before, it beeped on every new mail. Second thing: it shows only the 'N'-Flag in the folder-browser, if I hit a key like <tab>... Do I have to change something for this after my change to Maildirs? Another thing to mention: On local Maildirs, mutt doesn't show how many new mails there are in every Mailfolder. If I connect to the imap-server directly, mutt does this. So, is it more likely to access the server directly through mutt, or is there anything to change in muttrc for this feature? I'm now running offlineimap to update my Maildirs - but if the things above don't work locally, I think it'd be a better way to read mails remotely? Regards, sigi.
