I have a persistant screen of mutt in a tmux (similar to screen) session with "set mail_check_recent". I use fetchmail thru procmail and read my mail by sorted directory (set in ~/.muttrc) in an order of *my* choice. I read new mail by advancing to the upper-most directory with mail newer than my last access to *that* directory using "c". Mutt positions me to the oldest "new" mail in that directory. I read what I wish and move on. One thing about the above, I use mbox so "directory" equates to "file". Mail marked "new" or "N" that is in a directory that I have visited since invoking mutt is *not* recognized as new as far as the directory/file containing new mail unless I close and reopen mutt, except by the "N" notation. And that is how *I* like it,re: "set mail_check_recent". What is there that you do not understand or cannot make work the way you wish? Remember that mutt is *very* configurable and your configuration, what-ever it is, is *not* know by me so you must explain. Remember that what you do not state is not seen or recognized by me. Everyone has different wishes/likes/desires and it may just be that mutt does not suit you. It does for me and many others. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
