Hmm. Procmail runs on my inbound mail on a machine colocated about
20,000km away from the place that I read my mail. It would need to be
a particularly loud and obnoxious "you have mail" for me to hear it :)
In general, if you're using IMAP, I think it's unlikely that the MDA
is running on the same host as mutt.
I would also be interested to know if it's possible to tell mutt to
check a list of IMAP folders periodically. If not, this would be a useful
addition, I think.
