Hi, I am very new to mutt. Recently I did change my editor from Emacs to vim.
For complete this switch, I want to replace the Emacs/Mew for reading mail by mutt to use vim here also. Mew does basically the following: Read mail from /var/spool/mail/mccramer Apply a set of regexp and depending of matching/not matching the mails are sorted into $HOME/Mail/<folder>/<one file per mail> "<folder>" depends on what regexp has matched "<one file per mail>" is a single file for each mail. In each separate folder all files are numbered from 1 upto <count of mails stored in this folder so far>. My current mail processing scheme is as follows: fetchmail->exim->spamassassin->exim->/var/spool/mail/mccramer Cause this setup works fine and "kills" any spam I dont want to change this. I plan to setup fdm or procmail to read mails from /var/spool/mail/mccramer and sort them into $HOME/Mail/<folders>. But! :) To not to loose Mail I copier $HOME/Mail to $HOME/Mailmutt and tried to convince mutt to read my mails already stored in the folders. No luck. I was said, that the mail format I use would be "Maildir". After haveing no luck with this settings, I thought my mail format would be "MH" ... but also no luck. What initial setting do I need to read $HOME/Mailmutt/.... ? After setting up reading mail and fdm/procmail I will proceed further. The first step I need to get successfully working is to read this mail format. If it is not possible to handle my old mails, I unfortunately have to skip mutt, since I dont want to have Emacs/mew *and* mutt installed just to be able to handle all my mail. Thank you very much in advance for any help! Kind regards, Meino Cramer
