If you use, for instance xbiff or xmailbox then you need to add the -file your-mailbox to it. For example (in my .xsession): xmailbox -file $HOME/Mail/maillists -geometry 75x68+1215+115 & xbiff -file $HOME/Mail/postmaster -fg lightyellow -bg black -geometry 75x68+1197+97 & Of course, this will not take care of the mail beying delivered to $HOME/Mail/maillists or $HOME/Mail/postmaster. Procmail should do that according to your $HOME/.procmailrc file. If you use rclock then you can either use the $MAIL variable or use the -mailfile mailfile option. I hope this helps. Ionel

> How do you get new mail notification for the other mailboxes?
Whenever new mail arrives Mutt just lets me know. I get a notification
at the bottom of the screen like this:
New mail in =gimp
If I have mail in numerous different mailboxes and I hit the "c" key I
would get a notification like this:
Open mailbox ('?' for list) =muttusers
This would, of course, tell me that I now have mail from this list. And
I could, in this manner, cycle through all of my mailboxes that contain
new mail. This works for all of my many mailboxes except for one...and
for the life of me I'm stumped as to why mutt won't notify me about that
one box.

Well, I guess the basics are: what might possibly be different about this new mailbox? How is it stored (how are the others stored): mbox or maildir? Is it on a different filesystem?

Lets say I have mail number 1, 7 and 15 that I like to flag as read without actually reading it. How do I go by doing it? >>> >>> Tag the messages, then use (bound to ; by default) to >>> apply the N command to all messages at once. >> >> O worked. > > A really dumb question: > > What do I do with "O"? > I suppose I need to type it into may computer, but where? Heh, it's not a dumb question. That notation is somewhat mutt-specific. Since people can rebind their keys in mutt (and usually do!), it's not always helpful to say "press W and then press O", because that won't work for everyone. Instead, we tend to describe the mutt function you need to trigger, no matter what key you may have it bound to. So, the default setting is that the function is bound to the W key (while viewing the index, of course). When you trigger that function, it will ask you what flag you wish to clear. The letter O is interpreted in that prompt as meaning "the Old flag". Another reason this notation is useful is that sometimes people want to use it in macros. In macros, it's best to use the name of the functions you want to trigger, rather than the key that triggers them, so that you avoid confusing yourself later if you ever change a keybinding (and thus mess up all your macros that relied on that keybinding). Plus, it makes them more readable---which of the following is more readable? macro index \eo WO macro index \eo O Given default bindings, they both do the same thing, but... I think the second one is clearly more readable. Anyway, that's a long-winded response, but did it answer your question? ~Kyle - -- The criterion of truth is that it works even if nobody is prepared to acknowledge it. -- Ludwig von Mises -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iEYEARECAAYFAkmcVM8ACgkQBkIOoMqOI17DZgCfSC1gz9hszHncfCwo5Q5U2vGz paUAn3czlzcWaIvrzjKMxt3rMJ/ntiFl =ilRd -END PGP SIGNATURE-
