I'm returning to mutt after a long absence. My muttrc still works for me – I can retrieve and send my IMAP-Gmail.
However I'm not seeing new messages. Even when I re-sync using "$", mutt just returns "mailbox unchanged" even though I do have new messages (as I can see if I open Gmail on my web browser). If I quit and restart mutt, the new messages show up – but just cannot get them to appear without restarting the program. I googled this, but couldn't find a good answer – lots of discussion of automatic retrieval, or "read/unread" flags not being set correctly, but I couldn't find anyone who isn't getting mail even when manually ($) re-syncing. Any help appreciated. I have the following in my muttrc, which may or may not have anything to do with this: set check_new = yes set mail_check = 120
