Subject: search all folders for new messages

Hi list,

Is there anyway to let pine search every folder for new
messages? I've set up procmail play a sound when receiving
mails and when hearing this sound, I have to go through
every folder to check for new mails...
I'm thinking of a looking-through-folder tab feature.

thanks, Daniel

The sequence I use all the time works for me, though it's not as nice as just
jumping from one folder to another with new mail:

l;puz

Now all folders with new mail are marked, and we're zoomed in that list.  Go
through them all, then 'l;a;puz' to check again.  When it doesn't have
anything left to zoom in on, get coffee.  Repeat.

What exactly do you mean by l;puz?
I assume you mean pressing exactly these keys in the main screen...
but that doesn't work since ;pu and z are not mapped in the folder
listing screen in my version (4.50L0).
Are you using perhaps another version or just mean it different?

thanks, daniel

Yep; sorry, could've been a little clearer with that :>

Probably that there's some configuration options that you don't have turned
on, or else the keys changed since version 4.44 (what I run on the network
here right now).  Make sure that enable-aggregate-command-set is turned on
either in your .pinerc or in the config page, and possibly enable-flag-cmd but
I'm not sure if that's needed.

I also use the sequence l;puz to search for new messages in folders.
However, the problem I'm having is that pine zooms in on folders that do
not contain any messages at all. Someone on another list said that the
problem might be that pine is compiled with an internal message. However,
I do not see this message in any of my folders. Could anyone offer a
some help with this? Thanks.
