Intermittent reconnection failure

2024-04-18 Thread Nick via Mutt-users
Having intermittent trouble with mutt 2.2.12 on debian stable.  It
uses an imap server (dovecot) over a wireguard VPN.  When my laptop
resumes from suspend, a few seconds elapse before the VPN becomes
available and mutt usually reconnects automatically.

Sometimes, about one time in 5, it doesn't.  In those cases I make
mutt reconnect by opening a folder.  It's not a grave problem but I'd
prefer mutt to try a little harder to reconnect, if that can be done.

I'm attaching two extracts from .muttdebug0, running with '-d 2'.
reconn-ok.txt shows mutt reconnecting after running my preconnect
script.  reconn-failed.txt shows mutt failing to reconnect and without
running my preconnect script.  I obscured one folder name with  for
privacy.

Why does mutt sometimes fail to reconnect?

Thanks

The font you are using likely doesn't support the line glyphs.   I've
found Envy Code R to be a good all-purpose font that supports a good

For reference, mutt (1.5.20) on my machine currently takes 11 seconds to
open my offlineimap'd Gmail 'All Mail' folder which contains 17,418
messages.  It then takes a further 6 seconds to close the mailbox, write
any changes, and then switch back to my Inbox (for example).

This is on an Apple MacBook Air with SSD, and mutt has been configured
with header-cacheing enabled and support for tokyo-cabinet compiled
therein.

For me this is still too slow, but I'm not sure that there's much else
that can be done to improve it.

It depends on your situation. If you only ever check mail from one
machine then by all means use pop. Just make sure that one machine has
redundancy and a backup policy. Most servers have some kind of backups
and if you are the administrator you deal with them, but most mail
users don't.

If you use multiple computers imap has many benefits. Checking mail
from a friends house using webmail? You can still dig up the 2 month
old joke and show it to him. You can sift through your sent mail to
show him the scathing email you sent some tool on a mailing list. Most
people that use pop don't have that ability.

If you want the best of both worlds checkout offlineimap. Your mail
can be local and you an get all the speed. Yet its still stored on a
mail server that presumably someone else is taking care of and has
proper backups. Guess what ... if they don't you have an automatic
backup and your mail will get pushed back to the server when you can
connect again.

IMHO IMAP is just more flexible.

I would think the easiest thing to do is write a small wrapper for
mutt something like
#!/bin/bash
offlineimap
mutt
offlineimap

But if you leave mutt open for any length of time you wont get new
mail notifications. Maybe better off with something like

Be sure you have autorefresh set

#!/bin/bash
offlineimap -u NONINTERACTIVE.QUIET &
mutt
killall offlineimap
offlineimap -o -u NONINTERACTIVE.QUIET

That would have offline imap running while you use mutt then kill it
and force a final sync when you exit mutt.

Since you already seem to use it I thought it worth pointing out how,
using gnome-terminal you can get similar results to running 'xterm -e
mutt'.

This can be done using gnome-terminal "Profiles". You can set one up for
mutt with the following procedure (description based on the 2.18 version
of gnome terminal, but I guess should be similar for all 2.x versions):

Open a gnome-terminal from the menu select;
Edit->Profiles->New

In the field "Profile name" enter something appropriate like "Mutt"
Click "Create"

This should pop up a tabbed window which allows you to edit the Mutt
profile.

Select the "Title and Command" tab, select the check box "Run a custom
command instead of my shell", then enter "mutt" in the field "Custom
command".

You can also do fun things like set the icon etc.

Now, to run this profile (ie run the terminal with mutt) do:

gnome-terminal --window-with-profile Mutt

(where "Mutt" was the profile name you chose earlier)

Cheers,

Nick.

PS. I recall from some time ago the main advantage multi-gnome-terminal
had over gnome-terminal was it's use of tabs: this feature is now in
gnome-terminal too.

I don't know about removing that flag, but if you omit that mailfolder
from your "mailboxes" list in your muttrc then mutt won't prompt you when

I think ' b' will search the body of mails in the current mailbox. 

If you want something significantly more powerful I suggest you check

Hmm, from the manual it seems that that should be the answer, but
strangely it looks like it's already turned off:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ 3%  mutt -D |grep message_cachedir
message_cachedir=""

Since both myself and the OP are using Debian packages, perhaps it's
related to that. Any other Debian and IMAP users care to comment?

Thanks?

The good news is after checking out sendmail's FAQ I was able to assign the 
nessecary permissions to /mqueue and therefore able to set envelope_from
which in turn pleased the mail server which delivered my mail (not the old mail it's 
still 
floating around their mail server). Thanks for the advice re envelope from.

Below I've included the mail log entry for two mails sent to the same recipient before 
and 
after envelope_from was set. Intresting to see the difference (not that I know exactly 
what it means) 
maybe someone could explain.

The bad news :-)
Yes, I have ADSL connection which does have a dynamic IP. Comments on what this mean 
for my system
and what I shoud do to rectify any security or system issues would be appreciated. I 
attach to my ADSL modem through 
a 10/100 ethernet card. I configured the connection using YAsT2 on SuSE 8.0 I use 
Kinternet (from KDE 3.0)
to control the connection. I would be please to hear about better more secure etc. way 
to configure my 
connection and manage my mail. 

I know this isn't exactly a mutt issue but any direction would be appreciated.

Best,
Nick

Great. I've ask the recipient to ask the postmaster from more information. 

I have two more queries (apologies in advance for their mundane nature):

1. I am running mutt on my SuSE linux pc a home as under a "user" account. I am using 
sendmail and fetchmail to do the dirty work. My method of sending mail is this:

After mutt has given me the "mail sent" message I become superuser and type
$ sendmail -q
My question is: 
Is this standard proceedure? Or should mutt be telling sendmail "hey, send this mail 
now"
to which sendmail responds "sure sending mail now"? If so how should I configure this 
considering I'm using mutt as a "user" so I don't get those annoying "permission 
denied" messages.
Also where should I change the config in my ~/.muttrc or /etc/Muttrc?

2. With regard to undelivered mail. I was told to set envelope_from but when I set it 
in /etc/Muttrc
I get X-Athentification-Warning hearders on my mail. Is this because I need to set my 
user account 
to trusted user? if so how?


 



slightly dumb newbie question

2002-05-31 Thread Nick Stewart

Hi,

Would someone please give me possible reasons why some of my mail is not delivered. 
By "not delivered" I mean that not only does the desired recipient 
not get the mail but I get no form of responce what so ever. 
No "unable to deliver mail because..." messages, zip, zilch, nada.  

The only obvious pattern I can see is that the mail only seems to "disappear" when sent
to an address on a network (what kind of netwrk, I don't know).

On the bright side some of my mail is delivered (including this one :-). 

Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

Nick

some mail not reaching it's destination

2002-05-30 Thread Nick Stewart

Hello,

Firstly I'm using sendmail and fetchmail to do the obvious. I seem to be receiving
all the mail that's sent to me. The problem is that certain mail (ie. mail that is 
sent to 
friends addresses at work) does not arrive. I can send mail to myself and to a friends 
two-way pager, I've also subscribed and unsubscribed to lists such as this. 

Must be my setup, right?

Newbie with mutt and fetchmail

2002-04-14 Thread Nick Lozinsky

Hi:

I've installed fetchmail, it works, I've put it in the background as a
process with the -d 30 arg, mutt seems to start up. The only way that
I can read any messages in mutt designated to my ISP's mail server, is
if I read the messages first with the mail command.

What do I need to do in order to have mutt receive and display my
messages from my server?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

You may need to use vim, not vi. I tried to emulate your problem but

Have you got

Precisely. A lot of the time I'm not in X at all but then some of these

Yep, aggrovating isn't it? That's where my par trick comes in handy. It
doesn't stick quote chars in on every line but will make sure it breaks
at 72 which helps somewhat.

Absolutely, that \224 thing kills me. Mutt should really be able to
handle that issue a little better. After all, it does pretty much
everything I need except make me a cup of tea (sometimes asking the wife

No idea, I just went into where it let you set the wrap width and
changed it from 76 to 72. Lot's of Lookout! users messages appear to be

Apparently it does. I believe their is a patch for it, probably on the

I'm sure someone else will provide more details.

Yes, that's exactly where I'm at. I'd only really got as far as thinking
about seperate alias files but the word 'database' had been lurking at
the back of my mind.

Hello Mutt people, 

I wondered if I might ask you to share some organizational tips/methods
with me. In particular, Aliases.

My .mutt.aliases file is getting a little large now it's and not always 
easy to remember how I've named people. Do you guys split them up into
separate files for work | personal | etc? 

How can I better organize my contacts?

Hi everyone.

Currently I have to print msg's via the pipe command. I have 2 questions
regarding this:

1.  How can I print only the headers I see on the screen as opposed to
all of them when I '| lpr'?

2.  Why do I /have/ to pipe to lpr? It doesn't work if I just print.


Much thanks as always.

Hmmm... Got my clean version (27i) and I can't do it :-( I fear my

Here's what I'm doing and getting

from inside the untarred mutt dir:

$ patch --dry-run -i ../dales_patch-xxx

patching file PATCHES
patching file init.h
patching file muttlib.c
patching file pgp.c

Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

and that's where I'm stuck, I've tried -p0 and -p1 instead of -i but
no joy. Can you see what mistake I'm making?

Well, I think it's my lack of experience with patch that's the problem
but if you try it yourself perhaps I can follow your steps as I'd really
like to get it done. In fact, saying that I think I'll send Mr Woolridge
a mail and see if he'll lend a hand.

If I get it sorted I'll let you know.

Hi all
I just spoke to an Lookout! user who says she's getting my emails as

I have the outlook compat patch and as you can see I use $p_c_t so
everyone can understand me so why is this happening?

That would be the way I understand it. One or two don't hurt but once
those few extra bytes are multiplied thousands of even millions of times

That makes sense, it's not very clear though as both of us were reading

Sure, believe it not I did try that, I must have made a typo and not
noticed because I just tried it again and of course it worked. I
couldn't find it when I looked through '?' either though: Odd.

resending a msg

2002-01-25 Thread Nick Wilson

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi everyone,
and a very merry Friday to you all.

I'm sure I've seen a key binding for resending a message but can't find
it? How is that done?

For now I've just bounced the message which I guess should send it again
but I'd like to know how this is normally done.

Much thanks

Anyone got the equivelant Procmail recipe for dumping mail if it's text/html ot not 
addressed to you? I use this to get the latter:

:0:
* !(^[EMAIL PROTECTED])
~/Mail/Other/suspect

Which works fine, adding the ability to weed out html would make it much

Well I did Maatens keystroke way like this:

macro index m ":set editor=\"vim +'/^$/' -c ':set textwidth=72'\\\n"
macro index r ":set editor=\"vim +'/^$/+1' -c ':set textwidth=72'\\\n"

But I must say that I find it confusing, there are unequall " pairs
which I guess has something to do wiht \\\n but that too confused me :)
Worked though huh?

I've settled on:

macro index r "set editor=\"vim +'/^$/+1' -c ':set 
textwidth=72'\""
macro index m "set editor=\"vim +'/^$/' -c ':set 
textwidth=72'\""

Much easier to read for a dope like me!

Ah now I see a pattern, you can put the  thingy in the set editor
bit. So how might it look with this line:

 set editor="vim +'/^$/' -c ':set textwidth=72'"

like this?

 set editor="vim +'/^$/' -c ':set textwidth=72'"

Hi all, 
I want to use a different $editor var whenever I either *reply* to or
*compose* a message. Reason being a different cursor starting point for
each one (on the attribution for replying and on the top line for
composing). 
I'm not sure how to do it, I looked at hooks but didn't see one that
seemed to fit?

Yeah. Thanks guys, reason I asked was that I've gotten a couple of odd
mails from one of the w3c lists i'm on. multipart/alternative and when I
open if it's just full of stuff that looks very much like a pgp sig,
only *much* longer?

What kind of monster is would a message containing multipart/alternative
be? Is there somewhere that gives idiots guides to mime types?

That's a good point!
A few people went a little 'foaming at the mouth' on this topic over tha
last few days but it all boils down to just a little tolerance of what
others perceive as necessary quoting and I may not. As long as no one
get's really quote happy all is well :)

Is this because of the keystroke vs mouse click thing?
I've been using more and more console apps over the last few months and
generally find that programs like Mutt are sooo worth the initial
learning curve with regard my eyesight /and/ general ease of use.

I'd love it if you could send me (off list I think) any useful links on
this topic.

Yeah, I can imagine. Lynx is great but only really good for techy sites
and manuals and stuff. No idea about compatible office software, I use
Star Office in X but even that isn't /really/ compatible.

Take care

Fantastic!
How might I incorporate a tw command in that?
This is what I have for mine (nicked it from somewhere else so I don't
understand all of it but it works :)

 set editor="vim -c 'set tw=72 et'"

Hi all
I've been looking at the different variables associated with the print
function and can't work out why Mutt is telling me 'Printer: Nothing to
print'?
I'm sure it's me being daft but if anyone can point out where I'm going
wrong here that would be great.

This is getting silly, although I'm kinda glad to see that I'm not the
