I don't see any disadvantages, really. I run a screen session (on my own computer) with three mutt instances, one to access my local mail boxes, and two for two different IMAP servers on which I have email accounts. The relevant section of my .screenrc looks like this: = screen -t "Local mail" mutt -F .muttrc-local screen -t "Fastmail" mutt -F .muttrc-fm screen -t "Uni Frankfurt" mutt -F .muttrc-jwg screen -t "slrn" slrn -n select 1 = As you can see, I also run slrn in a separate window. The three .muttrc-* files contain just the settings that differ for each account and then read .muttrc-gen, which contains general settings. -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments

On one, it doesn't. If you're always viewing locally stored messages (e.g. stored in your home directories), and if your messages are stored in mbox format, then it's possible that the difference is that your ubuntu desktop mounts its drives with the "noatime" option, which messes up mutt's detection of new mail. Thus, it doesn't suggest a mailbox for the simple reason that it doesn't think any of them contain new mail. If you're always viewing *remote* email (e.g. accessing your mail via IMAP), then it's harder to guess why mailboxes with new mail aren't being suggested. In either case, you don't *have* to use the big list to find your mailboxes. Mutt's change-folder prompt can work like the shell: you can use tab completion to make it faster. For example, I keep my mutt mailing list mail organized into INBOX/Subscribed/Mutt. I have $folder set to "INBOX". Thus, whenever I want to read the mutt mailing list email, I simply press c=SM (where the things in brackets are key-presses). ~Kyle - -- Imagine what it would be like if TV actually were good.

Debian doesn't say which means it's default which I *assume* is relatime. From what I see on http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/01/30/installing-linux-on-usb-part-4-noatime-and-relatime-mount-options/ that should be fine. Now I'm snowed.

Unless I'm missing something, that looks like more key strokes than I have now.
