Re: Help with multiple emails

[42possibletrash]

Thank you for your replies Gregor Zattler and Jostein Gogstad. I have 
followed Gregor's advice and moved all my emails into one folder, 
/data/mail. This is my current .muttrc: 
http://ompldr.org/vYXh6ZQ]http://ompldr.org/vYXh6ZQ. The current problem 
I am having is setting up mutt to my liking in terms of composing 
emails. This may not be a crucial problem, but I hope you don't mind 
helping me out all the same. On eudora and previous email clients I was 
able, albeit with some work, to get them to let me compose new emails 
with no 'From' information by default. This helped as it meant that I 
had to consider which account I should be sending emails from on an 
individual basis, hence less mistakes. However as you can probably see 
from my .muttrc I have been having trouble configuring this. Ideally I 
would like mutt to prompt for a from address every time I compose a new 
email, rather than having to use a macro which can properly function 
only once (subsequent attempts brings up a list of every alias entry). 
Also I note that currently my alternate addresses seem to have no 
function, as the index limiting macros have the addresses input as 
literal strings anyway. Any help would be appreciated :-) .

Help with multiple emails

[42possibletrash]

Hello, I'm new to mutt and in the early stages of migrating over from 
Eudora OSE. My problem is the lack of obvious support for someone with 
several email addresses. I have four email accounts, for which mutt will 
work well with one at a time, but I have no method of swaping. Please 
note that at this time I have not configured any program to receive my 
emails and am only concerned with moving my emails over to be viewed on 
mutt. My .muttrc: http://ompldr.org/vYXUxZQ. When researching this 
problem I came to the conclusion it should be possible to write a macro 
to swap from one email to another, e.g. F1-4. However I am not 
convinced this would be possible now as I am aware each email has it's 
own mailbox, e.g. '/Main', with it's own subdirectories, e.g. '/Inbox'. 
This complicates matters as the script used to find mailboxes is static 
and does not rely on mutts own internal vars, e.g. '$folder'. I am at a 
lose, and would desperately appreciate any help possible.
  I have looked for an answer online but failed. To clarify what I want 
is to be able to swap email accounts within one session of mutt, 
possibly using a set of macro bound keys. I was using mbox format within 
Eudora, but have decided to move to maildir, the conversion seems to 
work perfectly. I have also started this thread online, but 
unfortunately did not get a lot of help: 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-898276.html. Once I have mutt 
viewing each account properly I will then configure it to receive and 
send emails. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me. :-)
