Nope. Imagine how long it would take to go through a few hundred megabytes of mail folder just to tell you how many messages are in there every time you wanted to look at a folder list. This has been discussed numerous times on the list; check the archives. If I really cared about seeing new mail status for mbox files I might whip up a macro that - syncs the folder - toggles read-only - sleeps for one second - uses touch to bumpthe modification time - calls change-folder to present your list of targets in the hope that writing and then setting read-only would set the access time and then not reset it so that the touch really works. Of course, I'd probably test it by hand with two shells running to try the premise, too :-) % % Naitik.
