I wonder if doing something like this in your .muttrc would do something similar:
mailboxes /home/byron/mail/IN mailboxes /home/byron/mail/IN.plug mailboxes /home/byron/mail/IN.uug mailboxes /home/byron/mail/IN.uug-free mailboxes /home/byron/mail/IN.uug-newbie mailboxes /home/byron/mail/IN.work mailboxes /home/byron/mail/IN.airfart That is a list of all the mailboxes that can receive mail (basically anything there is a procmail rule for), and then when I hit 'c' in mutt it suggests the next mailbox with new mail in it. +-------------+---------------------------------------------+ | Byron Clark | GnuPG Fingerprint: 0365 6979 6C3E BC0C 56C0 | | | FB7F 12B3 75DD 042B EA68 | +-------------+---------------------------------------------+ On Sat, Feb 15, 2003 at 12:40:19PM -0700, Evan McNabb wrote: > > So anyway, with that commented out, now I am looking at solutions > > like biff, ixbiff, from, and so forth.
