folder hook: delete old messages
For the longest time I successfully used a folder hook like this: folder-hook =mutt-users push 'delete-pattern~r5d!~Fenter' so that any time I entered the mutt-users folder, messages older than 5 days - that I had not marked as important - would be deleted.

folder_format %N not working after upgrade to 1.5.16
I'm running a Debian unstable system and during a recent upgrade went from mutt 1.5.15 to 1.5.16. During this upgrade I lost the %N sequence in the file browser display. Previously it would show the number of (N)ew messages in each folder. Now it just shows zeros. Nothing has changed in my muttrc file. Here is the line I was using for folder_format: set folder_format = %t %3C .. %d | %3N | %f I'm using imap but there have been no problems with it. When I go into folders, there definitely are (N)ew messages, so it's not like they don't exist. But for some reason, they are not showing up in the file browser display in 1.5.16.

moving through mailboxes with new mail
I've been a long time mutt user but today decided I'd switch from using mutt via pop3 to using mutt via imap on a server that I maintain. Under my pop3 setup, I used to hit 'c' from the index and mutt would take me to the next mailbox in my 'mailboxes' list that had new (unseen) mail in it. I could keep hitting 'c' and go through all of my mailboxes quickly. Mail was put into these mailboxes directly by procmail recipes. Under my new imap setup, new mail is put into various mailboxes via the program imapfilter instead of procmail. Under this new imap setup, I've got most things working except for this 'c' functionality. The first time I hit it, it takes me to the first mailbox in my mailboxes list that has new mail. The second time I hit it, it goes to the next mailbox with new mail. But the third time I hit it, it goes back to the first mailbox that I had just come from. Additional hits of the 'c' key just keeps taking me back and forth between the first two mailboxes. Any thoughts on what I'm missing? I've RTM and tried various options for: imap_check_subscribed imap_idle imap_list_subscribed imap_passive imap_peek using 'mailboxes' and not using it Thanks Kevin -- Kevin Coyner GnuPG key: 1024D/8CE11941 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

mixmaster
More out of curiosity than anything, does anyone know the status of mixmaster and it's ability to work within mutt? I've been using mutt on a Red Hat box, and just recently switched over to Debian. The default apt-get for mutt had mixmaster as a choice up with the headers, so I started trying to figure it out. After many unsuccessful attempts, I went back and read the mutt archives and found that getting it to work easily is very much version dependent. Have there been any new developments, either on the mutt or mixmaster side? I wish the default Debian installation of Mutt didn't have mixmaster compiled in, as I've already wasted too much time on this. :-) Kevin -- Kevin Coyner mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key: 1024D/8CE11941 msg30789/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Is this just a fact of life in the world of MS, or is there a change I can make on my end in my mutt settings to get around this OE shortcoming?

Every few days or so, I go into the trash folder to clean it out (I save 2 weeks worth of trash). Hope that's helpful. Wow! This is great and ..helpful is a bit of an understatement. And even better, I'm starting to understand some of this stuff (the hooks), although I must admit the push statement will take some more studying ...!

ask-from quadoption was 3 quick questions

I wish there were an option to have mutt prompt you for which return address to use, being able to pick from a menu of addresses set somewhere in the muttrc. Any possibility? A few months ago, some (sorry, I don't remember who) posted a patch that adds an ask-from quadoption, which does what you're asking for in not too many lines. It's written against 1.3.27, and I've applied it to 1.3.28 (haven't tried 1.4 yet). It's attached. (darren) Many thanks for the patch. I'll give it a try, but have to learn how to apply them first. I've graduated from windoze to linux rpms to now being comfortable with compiling source, but haven't tried the patch route yet. Got to read up on it first. Kevin

trash function (was 3 quick questions)

urlview
I just installed urlview and gave it a try on a message that I knew to have a few links. Sure enough it listed the links and gave an arrow that allowed me to select one of the links. When I selected, it rewrote the link down at the bottom of the screen. But after that, nothing, regardless of what keys I hit. I presumed that urlview would harvest the links in an email, display them, let me select one, and then take me to that page in a browser such as lynx. Am I incorrect in assuming that it does all this, or did I screw up something in the configuration? Thanks, Kevin

Re: [Re: NuBe: upgrade question]
Wow Wow. I see that I've a lot to learn. I'm really liking Mutt, but in all honesty it's a lot of work to put everything together. Ultimately that flexibility is the beauty of Mutt, but to get started is a steep learning curve, especially if you are relatively new to Linux, and even newer to the command line. In the last 36 hrs since I've started the switch from KMail to Mutt, I've had to come to grips with vim, sendmail, fetchmail and mutt. And from what I can tell, I need to get procmail going too. Well, at least I'm having fun, and with some more studying, reading and the occasional lamer question to this group, I'll get it figured out.

recommend good address book
As the newest Mutt user on the block (and definitely still trying to figure things out), one of the things I'm leaving behind with KMail is the KAddressbook. The two integrated pretty well. I'm enjoying using Mutt, although mangling the messages, but am wondering whether there is a good console type address book to use with it? Thanks Kevin
Re: [Re: NuBe: upgrade question]
Since I'm just getting started and haven't invested a huge amount of time, effort and config files yet, what application chain would you recommend? At this point it won't be hard for me to make major changes since I'm not set in my ways nor have any predispositions. Right now I'm headed towards: mutt, sendmail, fetchmail and procmail. But I'm selecting these for no particular reason other than they seem standard and common. What might be a better setup (with 'better' meaning having more tools yet less complexity!)?

3 quick questions
First, thanks to everyone so far for their help. I'm finding Mutt challenging but fun, and with the help from this group, it's even better. Second, 3 quick questions: 1. Where do D (deleted) msgs go? Is there an equivalent of trash, or am I truly out of the disneyland GUI world now and just like using rm on files, there's no going back. 2. When I'm in the index mode with all mail listed and I've marked a bunch with D, is there a keystroke command that will flush out all of the D items so there's only N or O mail in there? 3. This is the question that bothers me most: Let's say I have three email POP3 email accounts on three different ISP/domains. I've got fetchmail set up to fetch from all three. But what I can't figure out is how I can, on the fly, select any one of these accounts to be my From: and Reply-to: address. Presently I have my .muttrc setup with set from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] and this has each and every msg going out with that From address. But there are times when I need to use one of those other two addresses in the From header. I tried setting 'set alternates = the other accts', but that didn't seem to do it. So some general guidance would be appreciated here. I'm getting the feeling I'll need to use hooks, but I haven't quite figured all that out yet. Thanks Kevin
