Hello, I'm playing with mh-e in emacs 18.55. I compiled mh with MHE defined and have mhe: in my .mh_profile. When I inc from the shell and look in +inbox I see a file named ++. But when I run mh-rmail in emacs I don't see any messages. If I then use META-f to rescan the inbox it finds the messages. So my question is, why doesn't mh-e see the messages in my inbox when it starts up? Any suggestions deeply appreciated.

If there is no mail in your system drop box, then "inc" will find nothing, and you'll get an +inbox buffer with nothing in it. All you have to do is M-r (ESC r) to re-"scan" your inbox. From this point on, your mh-e +inbox buffer is synchronized with your MH +inbox folder. If you thereafter "inc" your new mail using "i" from the mh-e +inbox folder, you'll be fine.

It is also possible to set a hook to automatically rescan the folder whenever an "inc" is done to that folder. The hook is "mh-inc-folder-hook". I use the following to set the hook up: (setq mh-inc-folder-hook '(lambda () (mh-rescan-folder "all")) ) Lance -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lance A.
