Depends om what softs you are using. I use qmail, procmail and getmail so I use Maildirs > How can I configure a 'sent items' for Mutt? I don't know what this means. If you want a copy of all your outgoing then put: set copy=yes in .muttrc > How can I create an address book for Mutt? touch a file called .mail_aliases in your homedir and fill it with your addresses, one per line. E.g: alias b FreeBSD UK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Put: set alias_file=~/.mail_aliases source .mail_aliases in .muttrc You should then be able to mail freebsd-users UK by putting b in the To: field (it will expand). Or hitting t and then tab will bring up all your aliases to choose from. Once you've got a few addresses in .mail_aliases run it through sort(1) to make it more easily readable. > > I know this would be better on the Mutt list > but I also know there are some big Mutt fans > here and asI am trying this on FreeBSD maybe > more relevent ? Your best bet is either to join the mutt mailing list or comp.mail.mutt.
