Every so often someone asks about nested subfolders with mutt. I've read most of
those back to about start of 2007.
I'd like such a system but I haven't got it to work. My question is:
Do you, a mutt user, who is reading this, delete most of your email within a
short
period (say a week) ?
Here's my background. I am an academic and I get about 1000 emails a month.
This doesn't
include solid-crap spam (nor mailing lists) and I need to keep most of the
1000. I used pine
(pre alpine) for many years and had a coarse-sort system of nested folders that
worked quite
well. I was attracted to mutt by being able to write config files in emacs, by
the prospect of
using procmail to do presorting, and by the prospect of using mairix to search
across the folder
system. And the colours are nice too. (I have Mutt 1.5.18 under Ubuntu 9.04,
using Maildir,
downloading to hard disc by running fetchmail on commandline (so I don't get
distracted
by new mail while dealing with existing).)
Maybe mutt just isn't for keepers of emails? Or am I missing something?
