Especially for Edwardo or any1 eles experience this? Several months ago I mentioned inconsistancies with the "new mail" notifications. What happens some times, I am in an index of nearly 80 messages, useing an aggregate command to mark messages for deletion. Meanwhile like this morning, an index advances by 1 number without any beep or announcement. In addition, there are times when new mail arrives, just says, "sorting inbox" I get mail from an smtp connection to fastmail. And while I am quite happy with "new mail on quitting" it would be great if it would announce how many new items came in.
Thank you Eduardo: And also, thanks for your willingness to look in to these inconsistancies. 1 item you confused in my request, when you enable "check new
mail on quitting" it will announce, "new mail just arrived, do you still want to exit" Well, why couldn't it announce how many new items came in as it does
in many other cases?
Now, otherwise your explanations may make sense, but just guessing, maybe it depends on how you are sorting messages? I am wondering if there are either trace or debug files I can run tomorrow morning, while mail is wildly arriving?
I could then write you off-line with an url to grab them? It would be nice if such a file would also show a control+g when the bell rings. Actually, I rather
wish I could root that bell to a sound-card, as the beep program in Debian SID
has no way of ajusting the volume. Thanks so much in advance

Hi William: While in an inbox in Alpine, yes, I either get notifications of a single message or "3 new messages, most recently from" What I was also referring to is when I quit Alpine, it mentions that new mail arrived, but doesn't say how many.
