That sucks! you have 1.0.1 and it works andI have 1.2 and it still
doesn't work. oh well.. like "Mikko Hanninen" pointed out in the earlier
mails.. I guess something is messing up the "timestamps" on my folders
and thats the reason mutt does not recognize my new mail files. Well I
tried changing my muttrc so that it looks like yours.. I put in that !
sign to say its incoming mail, but it still doesn't recognize it..
either its the timestamp thats messed up or I am too tired and doing it
wrong.. This is how my muttrc looks like. I will check it again tomorrow
morning and try to make it work.
set folder=~/mail
mailboxes ! `echo $folder/*`
source ~/.addressesmutt
And all my mailing list files are in that mail directory, so that can't
go wrong. and my spool file is the default spool file, I didn't change
it. oh well.. tomorrow!
thank you
