mutt and procmail

[UprightMan]

I'm trying to get sendmail/procmail/mutt working in a convenient manner.

Procmail is sorting my mail to various files in $HOME/Mail. However, when I do this, I can't figure out how to get mutt to automatically go to th folders that contain new mail. Currently, if procmail sorted the mail, I have to check each file to see if it contains new mail.

Is there some configuration that I can add to .muttrc to make it go from file to file that contains new mail when I execute mutt?

TIA

Have you tried launching mutt with the -y flag?

From man mutt:

-y Start Mutt with a listing of all mailboxes specified by the mailboxes command.


Common e-mail tools:
sendmail (http://www.sendmail.net/) - postfix (http://www.postfix.org/) - sends mail to local users (and internet when configured correctly)
fetchmail (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/) - gets mail from internet pop accounts
procmail (http://www.procmail.org/) - sorts and delivers into separate mailboxes
mutt (http://www.mutt.org/) - mail client that sucks less than all the others

Yah, I was trying to use the -y option but I didn't have any of my filtering mailboxes specified in .muttrc:)

All is well now. Thanks.
