Get rid of 'outbox' from your mailboxes configuration. That is, remove outbox
from the line from your .muttrc that looks like
mailboxes =outbox

Thats easy. To bind F2 to do that, put in your .muttrc
macro index <f2> "/~F\n"
macro pager <f2> "/~F\n"

VM is a mail client for use with GNU Emacs/XEmacs. I use it occassionally.
Recommended for advanced emacs users. I'd say it is second only to mutt. ;-)

AFAICT, it cannot. Maybe some vim tricks to do it, but not with mutt. Will
Raju enlighten us about his VM settings?

First, set move=no will stop asking that question.
Second, why do you keep 5000+ messages from LIH? They are all archived in a
searchable format at http://lists.linux-india.org.
Third, I don't understand your question here ;-)

Better to use something like yahoo.com that allows you POP access to mail.
If are manually forwarding from usa.net, then try to forward with full
headers and try to get a procmail recipe hacked up. Might not work all
the time (because of From escaping and things).

Mutt hasn't yet implemented the DWIM protocol. I'm sure we will get to know
when it does.
