Re: use of folders



or you can try to put the following in your .muttrc

mailboxes ! `echo ~/Mail/*`

what that command does is to set every the file in that directory to be
a mailbox.  In doing that, muttrc will check for new email for those
mailboxes and if you change mailbox (press c, or spacebar), mutt will
cycle through the mailboxes that have new email.

I would also recommand that you put the set folder line

set folder="~/Mail"

as early as possible as so that the line set record can be rewritten as

set record =sent
