I have been using mutt for years and had this in my .muttrc to watch for new mail in different mailboxes:
mailboxes ! +BoxA +BoxB +BoxC +`echo $HOME/Mail/.*` which worked well as long as I had symlinks between .BoxA and BoxA etc. Now I am experimenting with a different setup to get my mutt to cope directly with the maildir++ format (where mailboxes all begins with a '.'). I came accross a mini-howto at http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Maildir which suggested the following: mailboxes + `\ for file in ~/.maildir/.*; do \ box=$(basename "$file"); \ if [ ! "$box" = '.' -a ! "$box" = '..' -a ! "$box" = '.customflags' \ -a ! "$box" = '.subscriptions' ]; then \ echo -n "\"+$box\" "; \ fi; \ done; \ for folder in ~/.maildir/*; do \ if [ -x $folder]; then \ box=$(basename "$folder"); \ for file in ~/.maildir/$box/.*; do \ box2=$(basename "$file"); \ if [ ! "$box2" = '.' -a ! "$box2" = '..' -a ! "$box2" = '.customflags' \ -a ! "$box2" = '.subscriptions' ]; then \ echo -n "\"+$box/$box2\" "; \ fi; \ done; \ fi; \ done` But for some reason this is not working at all. I do not get any indication where the new mail is. Are there any mutt-boffins on this list that can help me with a solution?
