Subject: New mail notification...

I installed pc pine on my laptop after using it for ages on my "real"
computer on a linux system...
At the moment I'm trying to tune it up so that all the mail I receive gets
delivered in the proper folder, using pine filters.
Uder linux I used procmail configured in such a way that all the mail that
needed to be sorted out was COPYED on the proper folder.
In such a way I could still read it in my inbox...
Unfortunately it looks like pine does not tell you if you have any new
mail in a folder which is not your inbox folder, so if a mail is received
and filtered, there seems to be no way to know it before you actually open
the folder in which the mail has been moved.
Is there any possibility to make pine say "you have 3 new messages in this
folder." without it being your inbox folder?
Thanks very much.

Luca.

I'm sure you would like a better solution than this, but here's what I
do...

Go to your folder list and hit ";puz".  This will select (and zoom) all
folders with unread messages.

Hope this helps.
