Some questions about trivial things
Wanted to ask some questions about some things that I haven't figured out yet. 1. How to go back to main mailbox, once I've done c to change to another folder? If I hit q for quit, it goes back to main mailbox, if there are still some unread messages there. Otherwise, it quits to shell prompt. This seems like a really stupid question, but I just can't figure it out. 2. How to select and move (or copy, if there is no move) multiple messages to other folders? I haven't found a move, just a copy, and so far, I've been doing it one message at a time. Thanks, -- Sean LeBlanc, [EMAIL PROTECTED] IM- Yahoo: seanleblancathome ICQ: 138565743 MSN: seanleblancathome AIM: sleblancathome Believe in miracles. But do not expect them.

Thus spake Sean LeBlanc ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): 2. How to select and move (or copy, if there is no move) multiple messages to other folders? I haven't found a move, just a copy, and so far, I've been doing it one message at a time. You're going to want to tag messages. You can do this with 't' (invidually) or such things as Esc-t (tag thread) or Control-t (tag pattern). Then, hit ';' and next command (move, copy, delete, etc.) will be performed on the tagged messages. Have a look at the manual, too -- it's more complete :-) -- Justin R.

1. How to go back to main mailbox, once I've done c to change to another folder? Hit c to change folders, then enter ! as the folder (without the quotes, just the exclamation point). That's an alias to your spoolfile (and is your sent mail folder if you have one, and is mbox) Matt -- Matt Spong || [EMAIL PROTECTED] || AIM: Spong1027 || http://www.forkbomb.net Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. -Benjamin Franklin msg20560/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

T if you want to tag all messages matching a pattern. ;s to save all the tagged messages to another folder. $ to synchronise mutt (delete all the messages you saved to another folder) HTH Ailbhe -- Homepage: http://ailbhe.ossifrage.net/
