new mail in sent-mail

[Keith Robinson]

Hi,

Every time I send an email, my sent-mail box gets tagged with a new-mail N.  This is 
good for *all* of my other mail directorys, but not not for sent-mail.

I've tried various things in my .muttrc but to no avail.  Is there any way of getting 
it so that this does not happen?

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

can't see headers

[Keith Robinson]

The only headers I can see are From: and Subject:
  
Here is my .muttrc:
ignore *
unignore Subject: Date: To: From: CC:
 
 Here is my /usr/etc/Muttrc:
# default list of header fields to weed when
# displaying
#
#ignore from  received content- mime-version status x-status  message-id
#ignore sender references return-path lines
  
When I toggle h there are blank
lines where the headers should be.
How do I make them
apear?

Mutt still won't see new mail

[Keith Robinson]

Frustration. I've changed every combination of mailpath, sppolfile,
locking combination that I can find. 

The result is the same. When I send myself a test message and then 
hit CTL Shft L the reply is:

Mailbox was externally modified.  Flags may be wrong.   

And Mutt does not see the new message which procmail just indeed put 
into my mailbox. I am not giving up, just don't know what else to try.

For those who missed my first go round, Mutt works fine when i use POP.
But it does not see new messages when fetchmail pops.

mutt -v gives:

Mutt does not see mail it does not pop

[Keith Robinson]

Hi all,
 
 I've been using Mutt for a while with its built in pop and now want
 to start filtering and all the fancy stuff. So I've set up my 
 fetchmail to procmail to Mutt connections.
 
 My problem is Mutt neither sees nor reports new mail when i use 
 fetchmail- procmail.
 
 
 Following are my .muttrc and my .promailrc (or relevant portions 
 thereof)
 
 .muttrc
   set folder=~/Mail  
   set spoolfile=+Inbox
   set mbox=+Read   
   set mbox_type=mbox 
   set postponed=+Unsent 
   set copy=yes 
   set record=+Sent  
 
   set dotlock_program=/usr/bin/mutt_dotlock 
 
   mailboxes /home/keith/Mail/Inbox
 
 
 
 .procmailrc
 PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
 MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail   
 DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/Inbox  
 LOGFILE=$HOME/Procmail/log
 
 
 With pop unset in .muttrc I send a test message to my pop account 
 from another account. Fetchmail says it's fetched. Mutt does not 
 read any new mail. Ctl-Shift-L gets no response.
 
 ~/Procmail/log gives:
  Subject: testing procmail to Mutt
   Folder: /home/keith/Mail/Inbox   
  
   1526
 
 grep shows the mail in /home/keith/Mail/Inbox
 
 But Mutt does not see the mail, nor report any new mail. I restart 
 Mutt and the test mail is not on the index.
 
 Here are my permissions:
 drwx--2 keith501   Mail/ 
 -rw-rw-rw-1 keith501   Inbox 
 -rw-r--r--1 keith501   .muttrc 
 -rw-r--r--1 keith501   .procmailrc  
 
 I hope someone can help me here...
 
 TIA
