The best you can do at this point is use TAB to cycle through the incoming
folders.  It will only stop and open the folder if there are new messages.

Sorry, I can't answer your question but I have one for you if you don't mind
answering.  How do you
specify certain incoming mail to go to certain folders?  Is this a 
feature of version 3.95 ( I'm using 3.94)?

Please respond by mail.

Thanks,

Is there an option to do circle scan? I find the prompt at the end of the
scan quite annoying. I would like to specify 2 more options to the
behaviour of the scan: at end of scan return to inbox and at end of scan
stay in actual folder.

Is this already implemented?

exerpt out of my .bashrc:
LISTBOXES=`find /home/bboett/mail -type f |sed 's/\(.*\)/\1?"New mail in
\1"/'  
|tr "\012" ":"`
MAILPATH=/var/spool/mail/bboett:$LISTBOXES

> feature of version 3.95 ( I'm using 3.94)?
since i answered the first one too:
out of my .deliver:
#!/bin/sh

SENDER=`cat $HEADER | grep "From " | cut -d' ' -f 2`
case $SENDER in
*pine*)  cat $HEADER $BODY >>/home/bboett/mail/pine_in; echo DROP;;    
*) echo $SENDER > sender; echo "$1"
esac

When using deliver You have to know, that there are 3 environment variable
defined: SENDER, where's the From: field (unsuitable for discussion lists,
therefore my redefinition...)
HEADER where's stored the header of the mail and
BODY where's the body of the mail.

Bruno,
These options are not yet available.  

Question about suggestion 1: So you just want to avoid the prompt and
have "Return to INBOX?" be implicit?

Question about suggestion 2: I'm not clear on which folder you want to
stay in.  As you know, Pine stays in the last one with recent messages,
or by prompt takes you back to the inbox.  Are you saying you'd like
options equivalent to "always say yes" and "always say no" to the prompt?

exactly, should be an option as delete_without_confirm etc...

> options equivalent to "always say yes" and "always say no" to the prompt?
yes exactly, when scanning other inboxes, if no other new mail is found, i
am prompted if i want to return into inbox. I would then like to say
default behaviour is Yes i want or no, without beeing prompted. But for the
'no'option this would be useful only if scanning was circular...

What do you use to filter your messages?  With procmail, you can 
use mailstat to tell you about new messages.  With filter, you
can use `filter -s'.  See my Filtering Mail FAQ for details:

I do a similar thing using procmail to do my filtering.  To check for
incoming mail I use a program that comes with elm (can I say that in
comp.mail.pine? :) called newmail, with which you can specify a number of 
different folders and intervals to check, etc...  You should be able to find
elm in many places via archie.

Andrew
