Ah, that's good to know. I gernally don't leave mutt running all the
time, so I never messed with IDLE or polling settings.

At least in my experience, IMAP IDLE on mutt results in sporadic
lockups (on Google Apps, at least). The only solution I found was to set
mail_check and timeo

The mail_check period doesn't seem to make much difference in the case
of IMAP. I've tried a few settings in (5) muttrc, but nothing seems to
help.
Any ideas?

the timeout counts down after your last key press.
mail_check works continuously.

Hi, all.
Could some friendly soul describe the differens between these two
settings ($mail_check and $timeout)? I've read the manual but I still
don't quite understand. Does one overwrite the other one? Is there a
reason why I wouldn't want these to be set equalent?

It seems that it only shows up if I press a key in mutt.
Does anyone have any ideas?

It seems I messed up my reply the first time, but what I wanted to ask
was:
I was wondering how often mutt checks for mail when check_new=yes is set? And is this
affected by mail_check=5?
Right now I have both of the above set, but whether both are set or only
check_new, it doesn't seem

only if i press cursor keys or other keys, it looks for new mail.
