They are mbox files on an ext3 partition, and according to mutt -v
output, --enable-buffy-size is not enabled.

Looks like 1.5.11 is available in Debian unstable, time to try a
backport!

The same with 1.5.11, could it be that file names for mailboxes start
with a digit?

Let's check...

It doesn't work, using three mailboxes with new mail and different
names with 1.5.11, no /etc/Muttrc and a simple .muttrc with only three
mailboxes command one for each test mbox.

Find attached mutt -v output.

Any ideas very useful.

You didn't really answere that question. Check if the fs is maybe
mounted with noatime or via NFS.
In any case - switching to Maildir formart should solves new mail
dection issues.

Then try (re)compiling with that option.

1.5.11 FreeBSD port and package problems

The FreeBSD (6.0 STABLE) package collection currently lists mutt
1.5.11:

lrwxr-xr-x    1 110      0              28 Nov 01 03:54
mutt-devel.tbz -> ../All/mutt-dev
el-1.5.11.tbz

BUT, pkg_add -r mutt-devel fails with:

pkg_add: unable to fetch
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-
6.0-release/Latest/mutt-devel.tbz' by URL

Trying to compile from the port tree
(/usr/ports/mail/mutt-devel), the make install fails because it
can't get the tar.gz file from a series of mirrors ranging from
mutt.org through FreeBSD.org.

The port suggests I download the source tar ball from somewhere
but then I notice that at mutt.org 1.5.10i. is listed as the
current development download.

Is 1.5.11 actually out there in the wild?

I got it (some time ago).

It is. If you can't get the distfile, mail me, I can put it up
somewhere.

Thanks,  I was just able to ftp it from the FreeBSD site.  I
think there must be a problem in the port;  I'll email the
maintainer.

Not true: ftp://ftp.mutt.org/pub/mutt/devel/mutt-1.5.11.tar.gz

Sure, 1.5.11 is current latetest dev release and widely used.

It's perhaps just a bit confusing the way this is stated on the
mutt.org download page:

"...The current stable public release version is 1.4.2.1. The
current development release version is 1.5.10."  Also the links
on the download page are to 1.5.10i.

mairix, was Re: Reading mail stored in a DB

Jason,

Thanks for mentioning mairix.  This works quite well for
me.  A search can turn up thousands of hits in seconds,
and it fills my match folder also in a matter of seconds.
This seems to be about as good as having the mail stored
in a database!  Mairix also indexes my 70 thousand plus
messages in under a minute.

Do you run mairix with a cron job to keep the index current?

As a rough guess to start with, I set cron jobs to run mairix every 10
minutes, and once a day to run "mairix -p".
