Mutt + Korn
Dear list,
I use the Mutt email client together with KDE's Korn new mail
notifier, and have the following problem. When new mail arrives,
Korn will notice and alert me to the fact. I then go to Mutt and
read the new mail. After reading the new mail in Mutt, it is no
longer marked as new Mutt-internally. However, Mutt does not
automatically resynchronise mailbox state with the mbox file on
disk, and because Korn only watches the file on disk, it does not
realise that I have read the new mail and keeps telling me I
haven't. I have to manually resynchronise the mailbox with the
disk file by pressing the $ key in Mutt, and that gets old
quickly.
So basically my question is: How can I get Mutt to automatically
resynchronise in-memory mailbox and mailbox file whenever the
newness status of a message in that folder changes?
Cheers,
Stefan
