Creating Folders/Mailboxes

[Michael Herman]

I am trying Mutt and am having trouble figuring out how to create
folders/mailboxes.  I have found where you can create mailboxes by
saving an e-mail and using a name that doesn't exist but how do I do
a folder under other circumstances.

Thanks.

Just touch(1) them or let your MDA (Maildrop, Procmail, whatever) do
the work.

All you have to do is:

  'touch ~/Mail/foo'

(or whatever your favorite location is) and add

  'mailboxes =foo'

if you've:

  'set folder=~/Mail'

in your ~/.muttrc. Done.

Understood what you mean. If you'd like to save a message,
mutt checks for a save-hook first. If none found, the
default folder name is equal to the localpart of the mail
address.

 but how do I do a folder under other circumstances.

Not understood. Do you mean defining which mail should be
saved to which folder? If so, look at save-hook in the
manual -- if not, mind explaining your goal?
