The followings is the imap and cache related entries. Does the imap_idle or imap_keepalive need to set explicitly in current HEAD version of mutt? # refresh imap inbox # set imap_keepalive=300 set imap_list_subscribed="yes" # Don't wait to enter mailbox manually #unset imap_passive # Automatically poll subscribed mailboxes for new mail (new in 1.5.11) set imap_check_subscribed=yes # Reduce polling frequency to a sane level set mail_check=300 # And poll the current mailbox more often (not needed with IDLE in post 1.5.11) set timeout=300 # keep a cache of headers for faster loading (2.5.9+?) set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/headers set message_cachedir=~/.mutt/cache/bodies set message_cache_clean=yes -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3
