 {{{
 It would be nice to allow notifications when new mail arrives, so mutt
 doesn't need to poll for it.  When running mutt on the machine where
 mail arrives, a program like procmail could be used to send a SIGUSR1 to
 mutt whenever there is new mail, for example.  However, mutt doesn't
 support any notification to trigger new mail checking.

 If this would be implemented, mutt can completely go to sleep and
 optionally be swapped out if there is no activity.  Without it this is
 impossible, because it's checking for new mail every so often.
