Unfortunately I'm not running my own mail server at this time; I'm using FastMail so need to work around that. archivemail *nearly* does what's needed, except that it saves to local disk, whereas what I want is to save it in an archive folder on the server, without compression or other encoding. There's an add-on for Thunderbird that does exactly what's needed. It's called awesome auto-archiver or something like that. Of course the problem for me there is that it's thunderbird, and I want to run mutt because it's elegant and lightweight and copes happily with thousands of emails even on a low-powered netbook. -- J.

Hi, sorry for the late reply
The reason I can't use SIEVE is because SIEVE rules act at delivery time
only. By delivery time, I mean the time they arrive on the imap server.
What I want to happen is, for emails already in folders on the imap
server, if they're over say 30 days old, for an automatic process to
move them into an archive folder on the same server.
thanks,

If your IMAP server supports SIEVE, that is the easiest way to get this done. Sorting will happen at delivery time. If your mail server supports procmail, mailfilter, or running your own delivery programs via a .forward or equivalent, that is also an easy way to get this done at delivery time. -dsr-

Moving messages...
Hi folks, I hope you won't shout at me because I'm asking my second (presumably) stupid question in a single day, but let's try: I have set up a mbox-hook that moves all read messages from my mailbox folders to somewhere else. However, I'd probably like to move *all* messages, and not just the read ones. In short, I'd like it to work like this: 1) I enter a folder containing new messages. 2) I read some of them, but not all. 3) When I leave that folder, I want *all* messages (read and unread) to be moved to a different location. Any suggestions on how to do that? Greetings Nils

Moving messages about IMAP/local
I think the current implementation of directory browsing needs to be changed somewhat. I've muttered about this before but now I have a practical situation where it's a real pain. I want to move some messages from an IMAP server to local folders (though the same problems would apply moving IMAP to IMAP or local to IMAP). So, I use a 'c' command followed by '?' to find and open the required folder on the IMAP server. This works fine and I get to the message I want. I then use an 's' command followed by a '?' to find the folder where I want to save the message - this doesn't work because the browser opens a view of the IMAP server folders - I want a view of the place I started from, the local folders. I really think that the browser should do one of the following:- Always start in the same place ($folder maybe) Have a special key that will take it back to $folder (i.e. '?' will browse from where it left off, '!' will go back to $folder) Have an option in the muttrc file to say whether it starts where it left off or back at $folder. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/

automatic moving messages to different mailboxes
I am sure that this question has come up again, and again, but I could not find an answer anywhere for it. I have one spool at /usr/spool/$USER, and through that comes all my email, including heaps of email from mailing lists. What I want to be able to do is have mutt automagically, when I recieve new mail, send the mail from my spool to different message folders (corresponding to different mailing lists), depending on the sender of the message. Is there a way to do this. Also, I just realised that this may not be done through mutt, but through some other program, so if it is, just tell me the program. Also, there are a number of letters that come up next to each recieved email in the index, including N, O etc. I was wondering if there was any docs on all of these, and a description of what each one means (specifically, what does F mean, and + mean?)

Bingo! :-) The program to do this is called procmail. Or, a newer alternative is available, maildrop. Either will do what you want. They are quite popular programs, so should be easy to find.

'F' means the message is from you; this depends on your setting up your $alternates setting properly.
