Re: How to deal with new mail?

I tried it, but with no success.
What happens is that mutt tries to use /var/mail/benni as
default directory to look for mail, which can't work because /var/mail/benni is 
not a
directory but a spoolfile.

I use

set folder="$HOME/mail"
to set the "folder-variable" to /home/benni/mail, which is the directory
where my mailboxes live in and

mailboxes =freunde =kassette =listmutt =lists =mbox =root =sent =uni
to specify the mboxes whithin /home/benni/mail as mailboxes.

I prefer using = over +, but I thought they would do the same?

Thanks for your help,
Benjamin
