Signal Folder with New Message?

[proble...@gmail.com]

All:

Filters sort my incoming mail into several folders.

Is there any way to make Alpine display the folder list in a way that
shows if a folder has a new (or unread) message?

Best,

For incoming folders, the answer is yes, see "Enable Incoming Folders
Checking" in the setup screen. For other folders, I don't know (never a
new one going into my non-incoming...).

I will try to be more specific. I get the notification message, I
would like the folders to be listed somehow that I would know an
unread message exists in a folder.

A new color maybe?

Please read the help associated to the option I mentioned, it does do
what you want, for folders in your incoming collection.

I haven't tried/found that yet. It could be nice, but generalizing the
incoming folder collection behavior to all folders would perhaps be
better.

You are absolutely right of course!
The color is adjusted already for new message, "Incoming-unseen Color"
in K would have tipped me had I thought to look there.

Thanks a lot. I have been away from pine for 5 years and I am happy
to return (stint in novell groupwise system) I never changed the
defaults back then since I only used it at the university labs.
