handle more than one imap account
I have to handle more than one imap account with my mutt. Imap works quite fine but is there a way to easy switch between these accounts, instead of always typing the whole address of the imap server?

Store and forward?
Dear all, I have not had to manage my mail _primarily_ on my home computer since 1992, when I had a nice little UUCP setup using mailx with MKS Toolkit and DOS 3.3, which worked brilliantly. I am now trying to get set up with a Unix shell environment and Mutt on my WIN2000 machine. MKS Toolkit still uses mailx.exe, which is too far out of date to be useful, and not even MKS seems to be supporting UUCP anymore. I have installed Cygwin plus Unixmail (http://unixmail-w32.sourceforge.net/) -- a suite of Mutt plus Fetchmail -- but this has not worked entirely as expected, and there are too many gaps in the Cygwin approach; not being a programmer, I'm not up to compiling/tweaking things like procmail, enscript, pcal, grepmail, etc, on my own. To (hopefully) put an end to this misery, my local sysops are going to help me install Suse Linux within VMWare on top of WIN2000, which will let me run the standard Linux tools. Having gotten this far, however, I must confess I am a bit confused about the philosophy of the current Fetchmail-type approach versus the older UUCP approach. With UUCP, I never had to worry whether I was online or not -- connections would be established and mail would move back and forth in the background. With fetchmail, I understand the part about fetching mail, but I do not understand what is supposed to happen with outgoing mail. After installing the Unixmail suite I tried sending messages while offline and monitored changes in the filesystem to try to understand what was happening. As near as I can tell, I simply got an error message in Mutt and the unsent message remained in /tmp (without outgoing headers). When I typed commands like cat report.txt | mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail simply disappeared into a black hole. Am I missing something obvious? What do you have to do have store and forward functionality today? Isn't that (in most cases) the ideal?

Re: Store and forward?
Tom, et al -- The short answer to your question is simply that you need to have an MTA that will queue up your mail for shipment when you're next on line. Just about every *NIX comes with sendmail (for better or worse!), and qmail and postfix are popular options as well. Many people discover that they simply need a smarthost relay program and are happy with something as basic as ssmtp. I don't know of anyone still using uucp since even dialup connections have a tcp/ip stack (usually via ppp). This sort of thing has been discussed on the list before, but usually under the guise of why doesn't mutt talk directly over port 25 to another mail server? rather than in the context of store and forward. If nobody else starts throwing you options for a lightweight MTA, you might check the archives.

What I wanted to do was to leave messages that I've read from the past few days in the current mailbox, and have them moved after a certain amount of time. I tried setting it up, but they aren't working. One of the hooks is: mbox-hook '=mutt ~r2d' ~/Mail/mutt.gz 3.10 Using Multiple spool mailboxes Usage: mbox-hook [!]pattern mailbox [...] pattern is a regular expression specifying the mailbox to treat as a ``spool'' mailbox So the answer is: You can't do that, well not with mbox-hooks at least. folder-hooks or a macro might work. macro index f2 tag-pattern~r2dentertag-prefix\ save-message~/Mail/mutt.gzentersync-mailbox So a folder-hook would be set up almost the same way then? This is untested but should work. HTH, Thanks Michael msg24814/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: gpg not cleanly exiting....?
David T-G [EMAIL PROTECTED] may have typed [02/02/26 06:06]: % % For example, on an email that is signed, when i try to read the % message, mutt prompts me to verify the sig. i hit yes, mutt prints % Invoking PGP. and nothing else happens. if i hit Ctrl-C, i drop % into the pager with the gpg output and the signed email displayed % correctly, including the part about the signature being verified. ^ it does get verified. Ahhh... Do you have the required key in your ring? Do you have a key server defined in your options file and is gpg trying to get a key? % % this leads me to believe that the child process is not exiting cleanly % when gpg exits. Pop open another window and truss the gpg process to see what it's doing; I bet the delay is simply trying to get the key so that it can verify the sig. for example, the output from verifying your signature is: [-- PGP output follows (current time: Tue Feb 26 18:08:18 2002) --] 23 sources found forking into background... gpg: Signature made Tue Feb 26 06:02:11 2002 EST using DSA key ID 7B9F4700 gpg: Good signature from David T-G [EMAIL PROTECTED] gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. gpg: Fingerprint: D8F0 A85C 1B88 1EBD 5155 8606 19BE EE09 7B9F 4700 [-- End of PGP output --] [-- The following data is signed --] ( i had to hit Ctrl-C on this one too..) i think i will just go with the upgrade suggestion. thanks for all the replies. sridhar -- Sridhar Srinivasan You cannot kill time without injuring eternity.

Hooks order of precedence
I've run into problem where I've got folder-hooks send-hooks, but, I can't make them play nicely together. In my main muttrc, I've got: source ~/.mutt/default-hooks.muttrc source ~/.mutt/folder-hooks.muttrc source ~/.mutt/send-hooks.muttrc default-hooks.muttrc resets headers, From: line, and signature to defaults. Folder hooks, then, override the defaults on a per-folder basis (I use some mailing lists from a particular From: or with a particular sig)... send-hooks are meant to override the folder hook defaults for particular addresses (For instance, everyone in my company's domain gets my company's signature, despite the folder I'm in) However, the default-hooks.muttrc does not properly reset my signature (nor message headers) to the default... If I use only folder-hooks, I put the content of default-hooks.muttrc into a file called ~/.mutt/hooks/defaults.global which gets sourced before every other folder hook... this works as expected... However, this falls apart if I go to use a send-hook, in which case, the send hook's last defaults get used the next time around. It's very frustrating. If I reset the defaults for both folder hooks *and* send hooks, no hooks can be used at all, of course... So what's a proper order of precedence for something like this?

It discusses mutt (as the client) and sendmail (as the MTA, which is configured by Yast, the Suse configuration program), but mentions exim, smail, and postfix as worthy alternatives.

If someone uses it, I would be glad if he/she can send me suggestions for the docupatch. The patch adds a new command unmailboxes. It should behave exactly the same as mailboxes, and just remove the parameters from the mailboxes-list. Parameters not on this list are silently ignored. I completed a new version of my patch, now umaliboxes * does work, and the manual is updated. I want to thank Cedric Duval, he suggested a way to improve the patch.
