Or, perhaps, one mutt instance, but an external mail arrival monitor? E.g.: asmail - AfterStep mail monitor biff - a mail notification tool coolmail - Mail notifier with 3d graphics gnubiff - mail notification program for GNOME (and others) newmail - Notificator for incoming mail xbuffy - monitor mailboxes and/or newsgroups xlbiff - X Literate Biff. Displays From and Subject lines of your new mail and maybe: mail-notification - mail notification in system tray mailcheck - Check multiple mailboxes/maildirs for mail I used xbiff 25 yrs ago, on Solaris. One or more of the above might be similar ... or better, e.g. xlbiff. Erik
