New mail doesn't show up till I send mail

This my be entirely superstitious learning, but it seems like strange
behavior.

I'm new to Mac OS X.  Have used Mutt on Linux for quite a few years.

I copied my .procmailrc, my .fetchmailrc, and my .muttrc pretty much intact
from my old Linux box to my (leopard) mac.  I set up postfix pretty much
like on my old linux box (slackware). (By the way, mutt compiled out of the
box on leopard -- no need for Fink or Macports.)

I have a single machine, single user site connected by dhcp.

Everything pretty much works.  I finished setting things up on Dec. 28.
Didn't turn on the machine again till sometime on the 31st.

Strangely, I had no new messages since Dec 28.

After checking that fetchmail was running, and looking at the /var/mail que
with plain old mail, I sent a couple of test messages using plain old mail.

voila!  Suddenly mail appeard in the Mutt screen.

Same kind of thing happened today.  No new mail.  After sending a test
message from plain mail, the new mail showed up.

I'd be happy if someone could point me where to look!

Thanks!

I would guess that it's a Postfix configuration problem: Sounds like the
mail from fetchmail gets stuck in some queue, which is only flushed when
you manually kick Postfix by sending some mail.

Is fetchmail configured to deliver mail through Postfix? Is Postfix
running as a daemon?

Hope to help,
Thomas

This sounds right.  Now to find out where.  At least its a start.

I think so.  After the initial kick, mail (such as yours) seems to come in
with no further incentive.

(Or -  maybe postfix runs at intervals.  I thought I fixed that in
master.cf, but I'd better double check.)

Don't use the "N" flag.  After the "N" flag is clearned, mutt should set
the "O" flag.  When you tab through messages, you'll get to O messages
after the N ones are gone.

You can mark most flags by pressing 'w' and clear by 'W'.  "N" and "O"
are able to be set and cleared like this.

Looks like this was the problem!  At one time, I had set the OS X
...LaunchDaemons file for postscript to run as a daemon, but somehow in
my final tweaking I lost it.

Anyway, since I restored the OnDemand <false/>  it _seems_ to be working!

Thanks.

Mutt with IMAP not checking (subscribed) folders

I am having problems getting mutt [Mutt 1.5.15+20070412 (2007-04-11) with
patches from Ubuntu] to check all subscribed subfolders of my IMAP INBOX.

The problem might stem from my configuration. All I could find reading various
documentation was this:

set imap_user='username'
set imap_pass='password'
set imap_authenticators='plain'
set spoolfile=imap://mail.state-of-mind.de/INBOX
set folder=imap://mail.state-of-mind.de/INBOX
set imap_list_subscribed=yes
set imap_check_subscribed=yes

The last option should give me exactly what I want i.e. check for new mail in
subscribed folders only. Alas it doesn't seem to work on my system.

The subfolder INBOX.ml.spamassassin is curently subscribed as the query for
subscribed folders (LSUB "" "*") showed:

* LSUB (\Marked \HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.ml.spamassassin"

And there was new mail, as a test using mutt locally accessing the mailspool
directly showed. But... my mutt using IMAP did not take note of it. I have the
following check intervalls:

# Timeouts
set mail_check=15
set timeout=15

howto unset signature ?

Hi, 

I use four different profiles in mutt, all loaded via F9 to F12.

I use the following code to set my signatures, but it doesn't work
that well.

unset signature
set signature=~/.mutt/signatures/lnx_standard.txt
send-hook .  "set signature=~/.mutt/signatures/lnx_standard.txt

Can you tell me which of these settings is obsolete and howto delete
the signature before setting a new one? (because some of my
signature-files are still empty, files exist)

howto prevent loading of attachments in index-view (imap)

Hi,

I use Debian Etch and connect via IMAP to a cyrus-server. In one
directory / mailbox I have some really big e-mails (30 MB).

I know that e-mail is no file-transfer-medium, but others don't ;-)

Each time I open this mailbox this big messages is downloaded to my
client, although I didn't open it. (still index-view).

The index-view is sometimes rather slow (because of loading all big
messages) and I use only a 400-800MHz PC (laptop).

How can I stop mutt loading the mails (or only attachments) in
index-view?

Best regards,

Paul

Note: the send-hook's are only executed ONCE after getting the initial
list of recipients. Adding a recipient after replying or editing the
message will NOT cause any send-hook to be executed. Also note that
my_hdr commands which modify recipient headers, or the message's
subject, don't have any effect on the current message when executed
from a send-hook.
