Cygwin 1.5, Maildir, mutt & managed mount - New mail

[Adam Wellings <awellings at europe dot mitem dot com>]

Hello,
 
I'm running mutt on Cygwin (v. 1.5). I'm using the standard packages 
version supplied by Cygwin, 1.4.2.2i. My mail directory is Maildir,
mounted on a managed mount to cope with the naming convention. 

The mount entry is (note: line may get wrapped):

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Maildir on /home/username/Maildir type system (binmode,managed)
 
My mailboxes command is supplied absolute paths:

find ~/Maildir -type d -name cur -printf '%h '

My Windows system is XP.
 
My maildir hierarchy has a reasonably involved tree structure, but each
actual directory is a leaf so they only have tmp, new & cur directories.
 
The mail is delivered by procmail. 
 
The new mail is marked within the folders, eg if new mail arrives in 
the current directory, it gets marked as new and mutt tells me it's 
there. New mail in other folders is marked as new when I visit them,
but the folder is not marked in folder view, and none of the switch 
to folders with new mail commands work.
 
I've done a lot of searching on this and not yet found any answer. 
Though I've seen others with similar issues, I've not yet seen anything 
that resolves mine. 

I sent an email to the mutt list and Rocco there very kindly helped me
check some stuff. Mutt looks for files in the "new" dir that do not 
have ":2" in the name or a "T" after the comma. Using ls confirmed that
none of the files in "new" did so. We also checked the mailcheck 
settings and they seemed okay.
 
So, I'm wondering if this is to do with the managed mount, but I don't 
know how to check this, or whether there's something else that I'm 
missing.
 
Is anyone else using this set-up or know what issues or settings to 
look at? From searching the list archives, I know that some people did
use Maildir & managed mount, but there may not be (m)any who still do.

 
cheers,
Adam
