Re: Sorting mail with mutt and IMAP
Regarding what Waldemar said before about fetchmail and procmail, you don't necessarily have to lose the features of IMAP. I have been doing this with Cyrus IMAPd for about two years. You have to run fetchmail as root so that it can call Cyrus' deliver program (or otherwise set up the right permissions). I can give more information if you have Cyrus and are curious... -Justin Thus spake Jack McKinney ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Big Brother tells me that Waldemar Brodkorb wrote: Another solution is to use a imap filter, called sieve.

I was think that since mutt had all kinds of hooks to specify what folders to save stuff into that there might be a way to get it to do that while mutt is running instead of on exit, and then specify the box names as IMAP names... -- "There are two kinds of spurs, my friend: Jack McKinney Those that come in by the door, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] those that come in by the window.http://www.lorentz.com -Tuco, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly 1024D/D68F2C07 4096g/38AEF076 -- [ o) ]-- Justin R.

As root? Do you have to run cyrus on the IMAP server or on the
client side? It so happens that I run the mail server that I am
using mutt+IMAP to access, but I need an end-user solution...
Right now, I could do it manually. Use 'l' with pattern
'~t root@' to get all of the root mail, and then tag all of them
and save them to '{username@imapsever}root'.
It seems that there ought to be a way to get mutt to automatically
do this on start up...

Sorting mail with mutt and IMAP
I am using mutt to connect to an IMAP server. I'd like to have mutt automatically grab new mail and put it into separate IMAP boxes, somewhat the way that procmail can sort your incoming mail into separate boxes. How do I go about doing this? Currently, I just use the limit command to limit the display, but this is tedious, since there are about a dozen patterns I have to go through every time... -- "When a bomb starts talking about itself Jack McKinney in the third person, I get worried."[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Lt.

Mutt has no mailfilterbuiltin. One solution is to use fetchmail procmail, but then you lose the advantages of imap. Another solution is to use a imap filter, called sieve.
