Subject: Pine filter and TAB

I have recently started to experiment with using Pine to filter my
incoming mail. I find I can do everything I wish with it, but there
seems to be an unexpected side effect. 

Messages are either left in INBOX or filtered to other incoming
folders. However, trying to scan the incoming folders for new mails
never shows any up. This is true whether I am using the TAB key to find
the next new mail or using the select feature on the folder list.

Did you set the incoming-folders variable in your .pinerc?

Do you mean that you're opening the folder and there's no mail in it, even
though mail is being filtered into it?

Can you look at the mail folder from a command line and see if there's any
mail in it?

You mean "enable incoming folders" ? yes, that is set.

No  - I mean what I said. Neither TAB nor explicit selection commands
(all folders with more than zero messages, for example) work. I can
certainly see the mail when I explictly open the folder.

I should perhaps have made clear that I previously did the same
filtering at the server (using exim) and that then the incoming-folder
stuff worked fine.

No, I mean the "incoming-folders=" list. I've got 20 or 30 folders there
:). They're the ones that <tab> checks. Forgot about enabling
enable-incoming-folders as well :).

> filtering at the server (using exim) and that then the incoming-folder

Hmm, that's wierd. I would think the setup would still work. Maybe if
pine's filtering the messages it doesn't see them as new when you
<tab>. That would seem a bug to me if that's what were happening...

Use exim to filter one type of mail and see if <tab> finds that folder
when you get new mail.
