3.11 Defining mailboxes which receive mail
Usage: mailboxes [!]filename [ filename ... ]
This command specifies folders which can receive mail and which will
be checked for new messages. By default, the main menu status bar
displays how many of these folders have new messages.
When changing folders, pressing space will cycle through folders with
new mail.
Pressing TAB in the directory browser will bring up a menu showing the
files specified by the mailboxes command, and indicate which contain
new messages. Mutt will automatically enter this mode when invoked
from the command line with the -y option.
Note: new mail is detected by comparing the last modification time to
the last access time. Utilities like biff or frm or any other program
which accesses the mailbox might cause Mutt to never detect new mail
for that mailbox if they do not properly reset the access time.
Backup tools are another common reason for updated access times.
Note: the filenames in the mailboxes command are resolved when the
command is executed, so if these names contain ``shortcut characters''
(such as ``='' and ``!''), any variable definition that affect these
characters (like ``$folder'' and ``$spool'') should be executed before
the mailboxes command.
