Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 904
pine does not show new mail
Last modified: 2016-12-01 08:02:17 EST
When new mail arrives, the pine supplied with Red Hat 5.2 does not recognize the new mail, nor show it in its folder, unless I exit and restart pine. Not even closing INBOX, opening another mailbox, and then reopening INBOX is enough to show the new mail. Yes, of course, I still have mail-check-interval set (at 30). xbiff _does_ recognize new mail.
We cannot duplicate this here in the test lab. While mail sometimes doesn't show up right when it arrives, it does always eventually show up (sometimes it shows up after the default mail check interval of 30 seconds). Ctrl-L refreshes the window as well, and may find new mails. Your problems are most likely related to NFS timing and file locking issues. You may be nfs mounting /var/spool/mail, which we have seen similar problems from in the past. Do the latest releases of pine in RawHide continue to show the problem behaviour for you? If so, please re-open this bug report.
I do not use NFS. However, file locking is probably the cause of the problem, since I use qmail maildirs, and had a script wrapper around Pine which ran maildir2mbox every 60 seconds. (I should have mentioned this in the original bug report.) This worked under 5.0, but stopped working in 5.2. Shortly after reporting the problem, however, I switched to mutt, and now use xbiff to report new mail.
