Browsing speed
Just wanted to share that I sent an inquiry to this post months ago because the refreshing of my folders (50k emails, aprox) was very slow due to the encryptation of my home folder. Yesterday I decided to move my folders to a new EXT4 partition (with noatime,data=writeback,barrier=0,nobh,errors=remount-ro as fstab options) with no encryptation and now everything goes smooth (just 3 seconds to refresh the All_mail folder). Thanks! -- jm
How to avoid mutt to change the name of received attachments
Hi, is there any way to avoid mutt to change the name of attachments I receive? For instance, a pdf called documentación_1s_2011.pdf appears in my message as =?ISO-8859-1?Q?documentaci=F3n=5F1s=5F20... Thanks! -- jm

Adding the year in status screen
Hi, I am missing to have the year beside the day and the month of every message in the status window, specially when I am searching old e-mails. Is there any way to achieve this? Thank you! -- jm
Re: Adding the year in status screen
Great! Thank you very much. I finally decided to set following config: set index_format=%4C %Z(%X) %D %-15.15L %s set date_format=!%Y.%b.%d %H:%M Thanks! -- jm
Sending in bulk mode from draft folder
Hi! I use mutt+offlineimap+msmtp I am in a long flight, reading and replying/sending new mails, which are stored in the draft/ folder. As soon as I get an internet connection, I need to send those e-mails, but as far as I know, I need to: 1. Open mutt 2. m, enter [already into Draft folder] 3. Open first postponed message, which is opened inside Vim 4. :q, y 5. Goto 2 is there any way to send all the messages without the need to open them one by one? Thanks! -- jm
Re: Sending in bulk mode from draft folder
Since you're using msmtp, have you investigated the msmtpQ script that comes bundled with it? Just did it! And works great, thank you very much (to all). -- jm
Re: offlineimap much slower than gmail-imap
Hi again, Thanks for your help: I finally decided to use a database for my searches. Just installed mairix and made a simple script: everytime I need to search, just swich to terminal, run a script that waits for the string I am searching, executes mairix and opens a new mutt sesion within the new output folder in just some few seconds. This is OK for me, so I will forget for a while about the I/O performance of my system. Thanks, -- jm PS: will try new search databases, like mu next hollydays
Re: offlineimap much slower than gmail-imap
Hi everybody. Thank you very much for your help. The situation now is: 1- As my /home folder is ecrypt I added to my .muttrc your suggestion (folder-hook 'archive' 'push toggle-write; unset maildir_header_cache_verify') Apparently, after a first refresh, the update of files looks inmediate, but after using mutt a little bit, it turns slower againg. The end result is that there's not a significant improve in performance: Sometimes it is very fast, sometimes it is very slow. 2- I checked my data, ang got this: jm@jm-ThinkPad-X200s:~/.mail/GMail/[Gmail].All Mail$ du -h 4,0K./tmp 940K./new 9,4G./cur 9,4G. jm@jm-ThinkPad-X200s:~/.mail/GMail/[Gmail].All Mail$ find . -type f | wc -l 47860 The data shown in my mutt status page is the same (I am using google apps, premium, so nothing strange about having more than 7Gb) 3- My system is 32 bit. jm@jm-ThinkPad-X200s:~$ uname -m i686 4- After working a little bit with I/O, I get: TID PRIO USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IOCOMMAND 120 4886 be/4 jm 2.38 M/s0.00 B/s 0.00 % 96.43 % mutt Honestly speaking, I don't know what to do with this information. Thanks again for your help. jm PS: will keep tokyo-cabinet for later, thanks. Think that understanding what is happenings is neccessary first.
Re: offlineimap much slower than gmail-imap

Re: offlineimap much slower than gmail-imap
No way: just set the caching just for headers, but the response is still very slow. Any other clue I can follow? Thanks a lot! jm
offlineimap much slower than gmail-imap
I was happily using mutt with gmail-imap. Then I decided to switch to offlineimap+msmtp, so I could still use mutt offline, have a backup of all my e-mails and, hopefully, increase mutt speed by working locally. But, after having all installed an all my e-mails already downloaded (10GB / 45.000 e-mails), every time I switch from INBOX to All Mail, it takes 6 minutes (!) to refresh the index. I had caché enabled with imap, and I am stilll keeping it in my .muttrc: set header_cache=~/.mutt/GMail/cache/headers¬ set message_cachedir=~/.mutt/GMail/cache/bodies¬ But I am afraid cache only works with online imap, because now accessing to folders is much-much slower than with previous online configuration. Is there anything I can do to speed-up my mutt? Thanks in advanced, -- jm PS: my mutt is 1.5.20
Re: Issues working with GPG attachments
Thanks Richard for your answer. I think we souldn't look into the windows direction: I just took a file from my linux box, encrypted it and sent it to myself. Once I open it from mutt as an attachment, the file is shown in text mode: ---Adjunto: prueba.gpg: application/octet-stream (all) No hay una entrada correspondiente en el archivo mailcap. Viendo como texto. Sorry it is in Spanish: looks like I should edit my .mailcap file. In fact I just did it, adding the following line: application/octet-stream; gpg %s Now, If i try to open the file from mutt I am asked for my gpg passphrase, and the file is decrypted in /tmp, which is not that bad. Sorry for being unable to go further, but: how could the file be opened (after being decrypted) instead of haviong it just saved in /tmp? Many thanks!

If it does not you might need a procmail recipe or message view hook to fix the contetnt type before mutt can do aynthing with it. Otherwise a mailcap entry should do it although it should not be need in a reasonable configration. Richard --- Name and OpenPGP keys available from pgp key servers -- jm
Re: Issues working with GPG attachments
None of the possibilities is actually working. But at least I have clues enough to go deeper with .mailcap options, which I clearly ned to learn, Thanks again. actually, forget my previous answer. It might work for this case but will try to decrypt many types of attachments which are in fact not pgp encrypted. The attachment should have type application/pgp-encrypted otherwise it needs to be fixed. Richard -- jm
Issues working with GPG attachments
Hi! I got mutt working smoothly with gpg encryption and signatures. My problem now is that my working environment is full of Windows boxes: I tried to find a solution to use gpg simultaneously with Chrome/Gmail and Outlook'07, but didn't succeeded (some old apps, others unsupported, etc) What I am trying to do now is sending encrypted attachments instead of encrypted e-mails. I installed Cryptophane in the Windows boxes and all is ok, except my mutt is not recognizing .gpg attachments, and a message of octet-stream/aplication is not supported is shown in every message I receive with encrypted files, at the time the name of the attachment is changed by something like =?ISO-8859-1?B?VmVudGFzeGTtYS54bHMuZ3Bn?= Is there anything I can do to get the attachments un-encrypted on the fly?

Can not accs all of my goobook contacts
Hi, My contacts have been udated from gmail by adding to my config file: set query_command = goobook query '%s' 24 bind editor Tab complete-query Reccently I massively added more that 500 contacts to my gmail account and launched the query. I can check the file .goobook_cache in my laptop and see that all the contacts have been successfully updated. But, when I want to use them from mutt, and press the tab key, only 121 of the more than 600 contacts appear, so looks like mutt is not able to load them from my local file. Is there anything I can do? Thanks! -- jm

Avoiding jump to next message with PgDn

Re: Open attachments without blocking mutt
Hi, I had to come back, because the kind solution provided by Syerling ( sleep n) was apparently working, but while viewing pdf documents, when I was browsing to previous pages they turned blank. So I decided to use the mutt_bgrun script, till I realize I ignore where to save it and how to call it. I tried pasting it into .muttrc without success. After Googling a bit and browsing Muttwiki I could't find how to use scripts with mutt, sorry. :( Thanks in advanced.
