There isn't a function to cause a re-scan, because Mutt is simply supposed to do it without being told. There is a variable $timeout which tells Mutt how often to do it while waiting for commands, and there is another variable $mail_check which determines how often to do it when you are entering commands. They should have reasonable defaults, though.

Alternatively, when you change folder, the messages marked deleted will also be deleted. This all depends on the $delete setting.

That's not what I'm seeing - my xbiff notification flag goes down as soon
as mutt(not me) see's that there's new mail. What you describe is what
I want(I want the xbiff flag to stay up until *I* read the new mail), but

And xbiff is a better candidate for "sticky" than a mutt xterm.

Tried that, but unless you know about "N" to create a new file, "s" doesn't do you much good - at least in my situation where I wanted to "s"ave the message to a "new" file. :) I was just confused - I didn't get that "N" should be used to create new files to store messages - "N"s description "Select a new file in this directory" threw me off - I was looking for something to "create" a new file. "Select a new file" makes me think select a file from the list of existing files - not create a new file. Now I know - thanks to Mikko for pointing out "N". Hardy

So there's no way to have mutt retrieve mail ONLY when I want it to? Seems like if you have mutt running all the time, then xbiff really doesn't do you any good - do you only run mutt when you want to retrieve your new mail? Or do you just have mutt running all the time, and just look at the "N" for new messages to let you know you have new mail?

The more general question is, how do > I create a new file to save mutt messages in? Just pick a name for the folder -- if it doesn't exist, Mutt will create a new mail folder with that name. The format of the new mail folder depends on the setting of $mbox_type. If you're in the file/folder browser, you can create a new folder (and select that) with the select-new function, bound by default to N. Hope this helps, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

newbie - how create a new "file"
Newbie question about a simple function that I can't find anywhere - when I'm reading a message that I want to save, how do I create a new "file" to save it in. The more general question is, how do I create a new file to save mutt messages in? TIA, and sorry for the stupid question - just trying to get over the initial learning curve. -- Hardy Merrill Mission Critical Linux, LLC http://www.missioncriticallinux.com

And save hook is for when you're saving individual messages, not for moving read mail, so ignore my previous message. Your best bet for getting this to work might be something like set mbox='|formail -s procmail .mutt-procmailrc' where .mutt-procmailrc has recipes detailing where each message goes. I don't know if that works though, and I'm not about to test it right now. I might later. > (This is according to the docs, I don't use the auto-move feature > myself...)

I believe you want save-hook. mbox-hook is used to specify the default save filename from a particular mail folder. So if you wanted read mail from +fred to go to +barney, you'd specify mbox-hook 'fred' '+barney' So what you probably want is more like: set mbox=+inbox save-hook '~h ^From.*palleria' +Friends/vito save-hook '~h ^From.*colosimo' +Friends/franco (You can drop the .* at the end of the pattern.) -- Jim Toth [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Abraham Lincoln did not die in vain.

Because mbox-hook doesn't take a full Mutt pattern, it only takes a regular expression which will be matched against the current folder name.
