Mutt only checks for new mail when it runs its input processing loop, which it does normally only when the user is typing. It also runs this loop when an input timer times out, but the default timeout is 600 seconds or 10 minutes. To change this timeout value to check more often, use something like set timeout=5 Regards, Gary
