There is no auto-updating new mail list. Mutt can't directly show you new mail in an IMAP store. True enough. It has no trouble at all, however, with identifying new mail in a local mbox/maildir/what_have_you store. Whenever *I* go back to my folder list, new is clearly marked. Thunderbird, just for comparison, is the one that doesn't seem to be able to figure out if there's new mail, whether IMAP or local, unless you either enter the folder or tell it to check. Here's the one thing that *I* have to have... decent printing support. The disaster that thunderbird or evolution calls "printing" is worthless. Of course, evolution has the problem that it's a Gnome application, and Gnome developers think printer controls, even simple ones like margins, confuse people. Or maybe there's a statement in some Gnome HIG somewhere that users shouldn't be printing mail, so they make it crap to dissuade people. I don't know. I'm not sure what thunderbird's problem is anymore. The excuse of Mozilla's original printing system being so weak is getting very thin. -- Marc Wilson | The sheep died in the wool. msw@cox.net |
