Well, that's not a problem or bug, these functions do what they're supposed to and this excludes checking for new mail. > It sort of annoying to have to "change > folder" to the current folder so that you can read a message > that's been sitting being ignored by mutt. For the current folder, it should only depend on $mail_check and $timeout in the index. This has always worked for me without changing folders. With mail_check=15 and timeout=90 mutt should tell you about new mail after 90 seconds being idle. Rocco
