The incoming-folders option in .pinerc? It doesn't seem to alert you (with a beep) when you get new mail, which I would have thought is the whole point. That's one reason I switched to mutt. The other is that mutt can display mail in "threads", very nicely, that's very useful with mailing lists. Of course mutt has a huge number of other advantages, it's almost infinitely configurable if you're willing to sit down and read through the various config options. R.
