Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.9-2
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice to allow notifications when new mail arrives, so mutt
doesn't need to poll for it. When running mutt on the machine where
mail arrives, a program like procmail could be used to send a SIGUSR1 to
mutt whenever there is new mail, for example. However, mutt doesn't
support any notification to trigger new mail checking.
If this would be implemented, mutt can completely go to sleep and
optionally be swapped out if there is no activity. Without it this is
impossible, because it's checking for new mail every so often.

Since it hasn't been implemented in 15years, I suppose there is no value in
keeping the bug open.
