ciao, I backup my mailboxes ~/Mail/* (many files) with rsync. The problem is that (IIRC) mutt (as others mail-client) understand that there is new mail checking atime with mtime of the mail-file, and after the backup there is no "new mail in ...." message in mutt. tar has --atime-preserve, but I use rsync and ssh . Any solution? (I could save atime information, do backup, restore atime ... but...) TNX
