 List replies are good. Direct replies are bad.
However, list+direct replies allow you to flag a list message as more
important than the normal list chatter.

For instance, Gmail will flag mails sent directly to you with a 
next to them in the inbox list. If you're CC'ed, it just puts a . In
mutt, you could flag those messages/threads with a different color.

It would create some hassles in that you might like to eliminate the
duplicates, but it has its niceties.

Yes, it is configured to allow POPS and IMAPS.

But, when I try to access it, it fails with error,

Mutt to access emails from pst?

2007-10-08 Thread Dilip M
Hi All,

Mutt rocks...Threading in mutt rocks than GMAIL! After using Mutt, I
don't feel like using any other email clients

I don't have access to linux box on office. We use windows and outlook
(or webmail) to access office emails...

1. Can I access my outlook pst file from mutt windows client?
2. Since I could access my office email, using webmail client, can I
have some interface in firefox, which is mutt alike...

Do I need to do some magic for this :(

:wq!

One simple thing I can think of is Mutt for Windows, using Cygwin and
otherwise.

This might help, but seems way outdated:
http://unixmail-w32.sourceforge.net/

 1. Can I access my outlook pst file from mutt windows client?

Don't think so. But you may wish to Google convert outlook pst mbox
to get some alternatives to convert the mail.

 2. Since I could access my office email, using webmail client, can I
 have some interface in firefox, which is mutt alike...

I think a better means would be to use cygwin and somehow get getmail
or fetchmail to POP/IMAP your mail, though I speak without knowing the
situation in your office.

HTH.
