Greetings.
I've been using a pre-compiled copy of mutt 1.4.2.3i .
I use MH as my underlying email system. My .muttrc includes these
two lines..
set folder=/home/hymie/Mail/inbox
set mbox=/home/hymie/Mail/inbox
...one of which allowed me to view my new incoming email, and then
when I exit mutt, I would get asked...
Move read messages to /home/hymie/Mail/inbox? ([no]/yes):
...and I would answer "yes" and the email would be dropped in my
"inbox" folder in MH format.
I just upgraded to a compiled-by-me version of 1.5.24, and this
no longer happens. I read my new incoming email, and when I
exit, mutt just exits and leaves my email in the incoming mail spool.
So I assume I'm missing either a new entry in .muttrc or a compile
option. I found this in the source code mx.c ine 835-ish
if (isSpool && *mbox)
{
mutt_expand_path (mbox, sizeof (mbox));
snprintf (buf, sizeof (buf), _("Move read messages to %s?"), mbox);
if ((move_messages = query_quadoption (OPT_MOVE, buf)) == -1)
{
ctx->closing = 0;
return (-1);
}
}
but I don't know why this isn't happening.
Any help would be appreciated.
