Re: Will repeating an entry in 'mailboxes' cause any problems?



Hi,

I have a mailboxes line as follows:-

   mailboxes  ~/Mail/In/inbox `echo ~/Mail/Li/*` `echo ~/Mail/In/*`

Obviously the ~/Mail/In/inbox will appear twice because it's in `echo
~/Mail/In/*` as well.  Will this cause any problems (there are entries
which come after inbox in `echo ~/Mail/In/*`)?

No, mutt filters out duplicates (start it with 'mutt -y' and you see what mailboxes it kwows).

I'm asking because it *seems* as if it's making mutt fail to see new
mail in the mailboxes after inbox and I'm trying to work out why.

Then something else must be wrong because between the first "inbox" and the second one there're folders from ~/Mail/Li/*. Or do you mean the first "inbox"?

What does "seems" mean? Does it report new mail or not?

If not, answering these may help finding the cause: Are you using mbox? Can you send the output of 'stat ...' for a mailbox which has new mail mutt fails to detect (if you have that command)? What mutt version are you using? Do you have BUFFY_SIZE built in or not (mutt -v | grep BUFFY_SIZE)?
