Sure in my pager, at the bottom is a listing showing unmapped funtions -
check-mail is one of them.

Ok I tried to do this from within mutt, as the manual says one can do to
*re-map*, so logically I figured one could *map* unmapped keys as well.
Well I would think a command to check for new mail, would be basic. Am I
missing something here? For some reason with my configuration, I have to
do an operation before mutt tells me there is new mail, it doesn't tell
me if I leave it sitting static. So when looking through the pager to
see what the key command would be to check for new mail, I see that at
it's unmapped - but mentioned specifically. Surely one can map this
command from within mutt similar to remapping?
I guess I'm overlooking something obvious - just can't see the forest
for the trees at this point? <g>
