 Sure, go ahead.
 

Done.

Yes, this is known. The only background check you get for free in all 
menus is IMAP keepalive. However, for the browser you can use the 
check-new function which, if timeouts are reached, will check all 
mailboxes and update the display.

 I noticed that when one is in the pager viewing a message and new mail arrives
 (Maildir), no New mail in ... notification is displayed. Also, buffy-list
 does only show the status before the new mail. However, in the browser and
 index, it works as expected: Automatic notification after at most $timeout +
 $mail_check seconds.

Correction:

I was typing in a hurry. The part about the browser is not true. Automatic
notification about new mail and buffy-list showing an up-to-date folder list
works *only* in the index.

no New Mail in notification when in pager

Hi

I noticed that when one is in the pager viewing a message and new mail arrives
(Maildir), no New mail in ... notification is displayed. Also, buffy-list
does only show the status before the new mail. However, in the browser and
index, it works as expected: Automatic notification after at most $timeout +
$mail_check seconds.

This was tested with a minimal muttrc

-
set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder=~/Maildir
set spoolfile=~/Maildir
set record=+sent
set postponed=+postponed
set timeout=10
set mail_check=5

mailboxes `find ~/Maildir/ -type d -name cur -printf '%h '`

color normaldefault default
ignore *
unignore from date subject to cc x-mailing-list posted-to list-post reply-to 
x-spam-status

macro index,pager c change-folder?toggle-mailboxes \
open a different folder

bind  browser n check-new
-

and a stock Debian version (1.5.17+20080114 (2008-01-14)) as well as with a
version compiled from the hg repo (hg id: 85654735d27e (HEAD) tip). Is this
known/intended? Do others see this? Please let me know if you need more
information (mutt -v output etc.) Many Thanks.
