I don't know C (well > enough) to check in the code. To detect new mail in maildirs, mutt looks at the new/ subdirectory. There, it tries to find a file that does not have ":2," in its name, or if it has, doesn't contain "T" after the comma. (the ":2," thing means that a mail's flags follow, the "T" flag means trashed, i.e. deleted -- mutt looks for one non-trashed message in new/). It would be helpful if you could use ls(1) to see what the filenames look like. Rocco
