I use one main conffile, and another dedicated for each machine.

In ~/.mutt/muttrc:
source ~/.mutt/muttrc_`hostname`

Just as an aside, you might want to set the textwidth variable or equiv
your editor.

mutt does not more purge deleted messages

[Michelle Konzack]

Good evening,

I do not know, what I have done, but since arround 6  hours,  mutt  does
not purge deleted messages IF I access a "Maildir" localy without IMAP!

set delete=ask-yes

is unchanged for ages and it works perfectly with GMail my Intranet- and
public Mail-Server.

"$" does not work anymore for local directories...

Any suggestions what I could have doen wrong?

Note:   I accidentally deleted a backup of mu ~/.mutt/ folder,
hence no recovery possibel.

Thanks in avance

Unfortunately, mutt-kz does not export this info in -v output:

It's also quite a hack ;)

But thanks for sharing!

Have some updates happened on your system recently? Some things to check:

- Do you use mutt with the trash patch? 
http://cedricduval.free.fr/mutt/patches/#trash

- Upgrade mutt to v. 1.5.23 to get a version with man bug fixes
- Restart your mail server?
- Check your system/mail logs if anything happened around 6 hours ago

I keep my sidebar configuration in a separate file and source it when
sidebar is enabled with the following `source` command:

source `FILE=$HOME/.mutt/sidebar; mutt -v | grep -Fq sidebar || 
FILE=/dev/null; echo $FILE`
