newbie questions regarding gbuffy   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #53 of 231 |
When I use the left mouse button, nothing appears to happen for two of the
three folders it is tracking. For the 3rd folder, some screen appears and
disappears quickly. How can I make the left mouse button work?

When I execute mutt on some folder, and use the command "L ~N" to limit the
display to only new messages, I get a list of messages which is much shorter
than the number of new messages as indicated on the gbuffy button. What
does the gbuffy program mean by "new"?

Wish:
It would be nice if one could cause the display to change the background
color (or give some other visual clue) corresponding to a mailbox based on
whether mail had been received since the last time that icon had been
activated (clicked on).

As you can see, the above problems are related: Clicking on the left
mouse button has no effect on my system, so I am unable to see which
messages that gbuffy claims are new. Whatever gbuffy claims to be new
is different from what mutt claims to be new. In any case, I'd like to
get some very non-subtle hint when messages "of interest" arrive.

If there's a quick fix to all of the above, I would appreciate learning
about it.

Thanks in advance,
Susan Kleinmann
