You use $mail_check to control + how often your mailboxes are polled. Note that the default setting of + $mail_check (5 seconds) makes mutt sluggish if you have more than a + couple of IMAP mailboxes defined. Also note that mutt polls the current + IMAP mailbox for new mail no more often than $timeout seconds, and its + default may also surprise you. + + IMAP features added + ------------------- + +- Mutt now has SASL authentication and encryption support. + +- A new variable $imap_authenticators has been added, which gives you + control of which methods mutt will attempt to use to authenticate + with your IMAP server. + +- Mutt also support IPv6. + +- Mutt now supports TLS. If your server does too, it will be negotiated + for you depending on the $ssl_starttls variable. + +- Mutt also supports a "tunnel driver", which means you can use an SSH + pipe to connect to an IMAP server. See the documentation for $tunnel. + +- A boatload of performance enhancements and bug fixes. Major changes since 1.1 ----------------------- |
