Switching between important and non-important mailboxes
Hi,
This is something I wanted to have for some time, ability to make mutt
ignore certain mailboxes for some time, so that they don't bother me all
day, but to be able to review them when convenient.
Yesterday I bit the bullet and this is the result:
In .muttrc, I replaced my 'mailboxes' line with comment
# MY_MAILBOXES \
_+INBOX \
_+postponed \
+some_stuff \
+cc-interest +dbx-interest +dtrace-discuss \
_+mutt_users \
...
folders beginning with underscore are the important ones. Rest is:
macro index,pager y escY Show important mail only
# Important mailinglists
`cat $HOME/.muttrc | perl -e ' \
$tmp=join , ; \
$tmp=~s/\\\n//gs; \
$tmp=~m/\n#[ \t]*MY_MAILBOXES[ \t]*(.*?)\n/s; \
@all=split /\s+/, $1; \
$important=join , map { s/^_//; $_ } grep /^_/, @all; \
$all=join , map { s/^_//; $_ } @all;\
print mailboxes $all;; \
print macro index,pager escy \enter-commandunmailboxes
*enterenter-commandmailboxes $allenterenter-commandcolor indicator blue
whiteenterrefreshenter-commandmacro index,pager y eY \\\Show
important mail only\\\enter\; ; \
print macro index,pager escY \enter-commandunmailboxes
*enterenter-commandmailboxes $importantenterenter-commandcolor
indicator red whiteenterrefreshenter-commandmacro index,pager y ey
\\\Show all mail\\\enter\; \
print \n;\
'`
By pressing 'y' I switch between all mailboxes defined and just the
important ones. When I'm observing just the important ones, my indicator
turns red, and is blue otherwise.
Hope this helps someone

But in the firstbox (which should be my default) I always get the email-address from the secondbox in the From-header, even if I change the period in the first folder-hook to the name of the first (default) box. What am I doing wrong? Do you happen to be using nested maildir folders? I'm wondering if maybe you need to specify the full pathname, or use $ at the end of the folder regular expression. me Yes, now it works. I did append an $ to the end of the folder names, like that: folder-hook secondbox$ 'set from=[EMAIL PROTECTED] realname=BlaBla' I didn't wrote the dollar sign for the default, period marked mailbox. Now everything works fine. Thanks a lot for your help. One more thin, can you tell me, why it is working, now that I have the dollar sign appended?

Suppose you have the following set of mailboxes in ~/Mail: foobar foo bar and the following folder-hooks: folder-hook foobar '...' folder-hook foo '...' folder-hook bar '... The second folder hook will match both foo and foobar. In order to prevent this match, you need to use an anchor ($) in the regular expression to match the end of the word right after foo: folder-hook foo$ '...' me
Chained send-hooks
Hi! % send-hook . 'unmy_hdr From:' % send-hook . 'set signature=~/.signature' % send-hook '~C @domain\.com' 'my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' % send-hook '~f [EMAIL PROTECTED]' 'set signature=~/.signature-domain' If the From: address has been changed by the third send-hook, the fourth one won't match. However, if the From: address has been changed thanks to reverse_name, then the fourth send-hook will match. To sum up, it seems that the address matched with ~f stay the same while all send-hooks are processed. Is it the expected behaviour?

Yes, this is expected behavior. You want to change the last send-hook to send2-hook, which should match on the changed address. me
Displaying mails in thread mode
Hello, How to display mails in thread mode like Gmail does? Could you paste your thread-mode related settings? Thanks. Best Lars

Best Lars Hi Lars, From within mutt, you can change the mail sort order by pressing o and then t for threads, or d for date received - there are many other options too. You can also configure default behaviour in your .muttrc: Set the default sort order (will apply to all folders/mailboxes): folder-hook . set sort=threads To set a folder/mailbox specific one: folder-hook folder-name set sort=date-received etc, Kind Regards, Jaime
