mu4e is not calling mbsync

To get my email, while in the mu4e-main buffer, I have to type U, then wait for email to be downloaded, then J i to see the new headers. I have: mu4e-get-mail-command "mbsync -a" mu4e-update-interval 600 Having to type U is a small price to pay for being able to deal with email in Emacs, but I know I shouldn't have to do this.

I have set up a user unit file which runs mbsync at start-up, and also at periodic intervals. I can set out the details if you like...

Anything show up in your warnings buffer?

Do you mean \*Messages\* ? Nothing having to do with fetching mail.

Shouldn't have to do that. M-x mu4e should call mbsync and do it repeatedly every mu4e-update-interval.

`M-x list-timers` shows me: 200.87 5.00 #f(compiled-function () #<bytecode 0x155d606146b5> [mu4e-index-update-in-background mu4e-update-mail-and-index])

Odd bug. Have you double-checked that these variables are set properly after mu4e has loaded? I know that my setup sometimes would give me issues with finding mbsync so I have: ```emacs-lisp (setq mu4e-get-mail-command (concat (executable-find "mbsync") " -a")) ```

The plot thickens. I don't have a running timer. Which begs the question, why not?

C-h v mu4e-get-mail-command is "mbsync -a"

Yeah -- odd. Looks like the thing to do is see if you still have the problem with a minimal working example + emacs -q. If so it might be a genuine bug (though I'm not seeing it in my rig with emacs 29, mu, and mbsync). Otherwise you'll have to bisect your config.

(use-package mu4e :straight (:host github :repo "djcb/mu" ;; FIXME: branch master does not work :branch "release/1.6" :files ("mu4e/*") :pre-build (("./autogen.sh") ("make"))) :custom (mu4e-mu-binary (expand-file-name "mu/mu" (straight--repos-dir "mu"))) :config (setq mu4e-update-interval (* 10 60)) (setq mu4e-get-mail-command "mbsync -a") (setq mu4e-maildir "~/Mail")) This is what I have in my init.el Not sure if this is going to help. I'm running emacs 28.

Thanks. I will try that today.

I may have found the culprit. I'm using Doom Emacs. In init.el, I had: >:email > > (mu4e +org +gmail) > > > >And now I have > >(mu4e +gmail) mu4e is calling mbsync now. No idea why.
