aliases vs abook
Hi guys, is there a way to make mutt autocompletition feature to work with abook? So far i got it only working with mutt's internal aliases system, and all the config snippets i found around like this one, don't help: set query_command= abook --mutt-query '%s' macro index,pager A abook --add-email add the sender address to abook macro generic,index,pager \ca abook launch abook and what's the point in having two addressbooks? -- bye, p.
Unread email status in folder view
Hi Mutt users, As many subscribers on this list, I subscribe to many mailing lists. I follow some closely and have included in the mailboxes command in my Mutt config, but there are some lists I catch up with from time to time. Is there anyway to show how many unread emails a folder has when in folder view (getting the information in any other form would be okay to)? Even for the mailboxes listed with the mailboxes command, I only get an indicator for new emails (with %N in $folder_format). I would like to see if unread (new + old) emails are present (or how many) in a directory. Is that possible with Mutt somehow? Thanks for any ideas, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

I don't think so. I think mutt would tell you abook: unknown command macro generic,index,pager \ca abook launch abook I don't think this will work either. and what's the point in having two addressbooks? I like having my commonly used addresses be quickly accessible through aliases and have actual *tab* completion. There are about 20 addresses in my alias list. I then use my full address book for other information about people, addresses, phone numbers, etc. Also, mutt's alias lookup is very fast, whereas query_command can be much more expensive (read: slow) depending on what the query_command is actually doing. -Jeremy pgp7cDOKQILBX.pgp Description: PGP signature
manually adding keys when smime_keys perl script cannot
Has anyone figured out how to add keys for S/MIME without using the smime_keys script? I suspect smime_keys is just a wrapper script and everything can probably be done using openssl. Due to my lack of PERL skills, and this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690255 I am blocked from using mutt and S/MIME with my self-signed keys.
Sorting forever when connecting to IMAP
Hi, when I start mutt to connect to my IMAP account at work (which is a David / Tobit server) mutt downloads the headers of my approximately 700 mails in my inbox within a minute or so. When it is afterwords sorting the mailbox it is staying there forever. Sometimes it finishes after maybe 15 minutes but most of the times it is not going any further at all. I tried with and without header and message cache but that didn't seem to make any difference. I am running Mutt 1.5.20 on Ubuntu 10.04. It is the same at work with Mutt 1.5.20 under Cygwin on Windows 7. My freenet.de inbox though with 600 messages shows up within seconds, also accessed via IMAP. The only difference I can see is that I cannot use any encryption (SSL/TLS) with my work account so connecting there with plain IMAP while I use IMAPS for freenet. Are there any settings to speed that sorting up? Could it be a problem with the David / Tobit IMAP server? With my android smart phone I cannot see any delay in accessing the David / Tobit IMAP server. Thanks in advance, Chris
