Package: mutt Version: 1.5.20-9+squeeze1 Severity: normal Hi there!
I setup my sid to use Maildir by default, as explained at [1]. However, at launch mutt continuosly asks me the following question: /home/luca.capello/Mail does not exist. Create it? ([yes]/no): [1] <http://wiki.debian.org/MaildirConfiguration> This is plain wrong, given that the MAIL variable correctly points to /home/luca.capello/Maildir, which means that this variable is not respected. To avoid that, I need to specify in ~/.muttrc: set folder="~/Maildir" Reading mutt's manpage, I found the following: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- MAIL Full path of the user's spool mailbox. MAILDIR Full path of the user's spool mailbox if MAIL is unset. Commonly used when the spool mailbox is a maildir (5) folder. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I was not aware of MAILDIR, except for procmail, where, however, it has a different meaning: it represents a folder where emails are stored, independently of the mailbox format. Indeed, AFAIK to use the Maildir format with procmail, you need to append the a / when specifying one of the ORGMAIL, DEFAULT or MAILDIR variables. Please note that /usr/bin/mail.mailutils correctly respects MAIL and it opens ~/Maildir without any other configuration except the one at [1]. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca -- Package-specific info:
