Hello everyone --
I am using mutt to read mail on a NFS mounted home mail directory. This works
fine, except that when I start mutt, it doesn't notice that I have new mail in
the folders listed in my mailboxes. For example, I'll start mutt knowing that
there are new messages in +IN.mutt (because I read that there were in the
procmail log) and when I enter into mutt and hit 'c', it doesn't automatically
choose =IN.mutt for me. If I hit tab a couple times to get my mailboxes, it
doesn't show that it's new with the 'N' in the margin there either. However,
when I enter into the mailbox =IN.mutt, it does correctly identify new messages.
I have tried compiling with --enable-nfs-fix, --enable-fcntl, --disable-fcntl,
--enable-flock, in many combinations. None of them fix the problem. I even
tried mounting the NFS direcotry with '-o nolock'. Does anyone have a solution
to this problem, or is it a bug of some kind. I'm running on a Debian sid
machine mounting nfs version 3.
Here's my mutt -v:
