I don't know, however, if this is related to the side bar patch.

The coolest solution would be, if I could install some sort of database on my vServer and make mutt query it everytime I need the address book (and also add new addresses to it). Is there some sort if solution for this kind of think? Using LDAP and lbdb kinda solves this problem.

Have you set `mail_check` to a non-default value in your .muttrc (or system-wide Muttrc) file? Or how about `timeout`? iThe default for that is 10 minutes -- have you tried waiting that long to see if mutt identifies new mail? Default values are the ones mentioned in the manual: $timeout=600, $mail_check=5. I played with them by setting them to small values for testing: $timeout=10, $mail_check=5 or $timeout=60, $mail_check=30 but the 'N' flag just won't appear automatically if the browser is focused all the time. Would it help posting my .muttrc? I suspect either a stupid newbie-related misconfig or an issue with my Debian mutt version (since I saw they include some patches on their own which are not in the official mutt tree). I have a similar configuration, and now that I have taken a better look, I basically have the same problem. I haven't noticed it since I use the sidebar patch. Anyway, I wonder if there are some consistency issues between the values stored in timeout and mail_check that could be causing the problem.

In my muttrc I have bind browser n check-new which works ok. I hit `n` manually from time to time to see if there is new mail. Is it possible to do that automatically in the background (ala cron)? Are you using mailboxes? If so, this should be done automatically.

How can I add /sw/bin/ to my path?
put

You may want to try just typing /sw/bin/mutt first just to see if it
works properly after migration.

I have some unix background, but it's been quite a while since I've configured mutt. All this means is that mutt is somehow no longer in your path.

next-flagged-mailbox
Anyone have any idea how to make a macro that switches to the next mailbox with a flagged message?
Requested features
I love the new next-mailbox-with-new-message feature. I was wondering if there was anything like next-mailbox-with-flagged-message? Also, how about a compose to sender command like the one in thunderbird?
inode sort
Does anyone know what the semantics of the inode sort configuration option is?

sidebar patch for mutt 1.5.16?
Does anyone have a working sidebar patch for mutt 1.15.16? The latest posted on the sidebar website is for 1.15.15.
Re: Folder Format for my setup
I have a question relating to this one. I've recently switched from mbox to maildir and I've noticed that, while the performance seems better, the amount of exposed message headers has drastically increased. Any idea why and how to get it back to the mbox normal amount? On Wed 9.May'07 at 21:40:23 -0300, Cleverson wrote: Hi all I've read about Mbox and Maildir at the Mutt wiki. I'd apreciate more personal opinions on which format could be better for my case in particular: I've just installed Gentoo Linux and now I intend to setup a mail system with Mutt. My CPU is an AMD Sempron 1500 mhz, 256 RAM. My filesystem is ReiserFS 3.6. Usually, I receive about 20 to 60 messages per day, depending on how active I am at mailing lists. I'd like to know, for example, wheter there are features that don't exist or don't work well with one of the two folder formats, if one of them have theoretically better performance in general, what is the best format to manage messages (move, copy, save...), either using Mutt or other programs. Is it true that Maildir has better performance while loading folders? And about file corruption consequences for each one? Many thanks Cleverson
