Pour changer de repertoire je fait 'c' puit '?' puis je tappe l'address de mon serveur imap 'imap://serveur_avec_un_nom_pas_possible/INBOX' puis j'utilise la completion. J'aierais donc avoir le chemain de mon serveur remplis par default lorsque je fait 'c' ou bien mieux un menu de navigation sur le serveur IMAP.

I'll try to answer the questions I can that I didn't see answered by others. The navigation seems kind of inconsistent. While reading from the spool file, return takes you inward, and i takes you to the message listing. Except that if you try to change mail folders, i no longer works, you want tab. q takes you out of menus, but ctrl-G gets you out of prompts. Vi is the default editor, but in-program prompts use Emacs bindings. Is it just something to get used to, or is there some unifying concept that I'm not getting? I think q will always work to exit a view, even if the help line says i:Exit. I don't know why i is used this way. It may be a mnemonic for return to Index, but that's not always where it returns you. If it bothers you, you can put bind pager i noop in your muttrc which will unbind i and change the help line to q:Exit. ctrl-G gets you out of prompts because that's how emacs works, which is consistent with the command-line editing commands. I think that's just something you have to get used to. There are other programs that use (or can use) emacs key bindings for command-line editing even though they use vi-like key bindings for screen navigation, e.g. w3m and vim. I think the reason for using emacs key bindings is that it is simpler to write a modeless command-line editor and because the editing commands can be bound to the arrow, end, and home keys, which some people prefer. Currently, I have three locations for mail: my spool file/dir (forget which exim uses), ~/Mail/* folders, and ~/mbox. I haven't come up with a convenient way to navigate between these. c lets me hop into any of the ~/Mail/* easily, but then getting back to the spool or to ~/mbox requires more work than I'd expect for the default places for mail. am I missing something? (I know I can tell mutt to use an alternate in place of ~/mbox, but surely there's a better way to get to the mbox its using than to specifiy path/file?) If you include your spool file in your 'mailboxes' list, you can get to it via the c command, too. I would think that you would want your spool file in your 'mailboxes' list anyway so that mutt will look there for new mail. To quickly navigate to your spool file, your mbox file, and a few other special files, you can follow c by one of the shortcuts listed in section 4.7 of the mutt manual. For example, c! will take you to your spool file. I've stumbled across the following flags so far: rT+*FO. Of those, I've figured out (read) that r is replied-to, and * is tagged. What are +, F, and O? See the mutt manual section 2.3.1.1 Status Flags. [ and ] are bound to half-pages in the listing, but not in the pager. Is there any navigation beyond space and - in the pager? While in the pager, type ? for help. I don't remember what the default bindings are in the pager for the half-up and half-down functions (they may be unbound by default), but I have bind pager [ half-up bind pager ] half-down in my muttrc so that [ and ] work the same in the pager as in the index.

(repost) Folder navigation
Hi all, I am used to let procmail sort incoming messages into separate folders and start mutt with the "-y" option, such that I get a menu containing the folders specified by the "mailboxes" command. I have the following key bindings to emulate the behavior of tin, which is my favorite newsreader. bind generic right select-entry bind pager left exit bind index right display-message This allows me to navigate through my mailfolders and mail messages with mutt like I do through my subscribed newsgroups and postings with tin. So I can work through my mailfolders one after the other. However - unlike tin - when leaving a mailfolder, the cursor always jumps back to highlight the *first* folder in the list of mailfolders instead of the most recent one that I have just left. So what? Well, I have about 20 folders and if I have just left - let's say - the 17-th folder, I have to scroll all the way down to reach the 18-th folder (remember: I have already done this 16 times before). I know that I can alternatively enter the number of the folder, but it would be much more efficient just to hit the cursor-down-cursor-right key sequence to enter the next folder. To make a long story short: How can I make the cursor highlight the last visited mailbox in the folder view rather than the first one in the list? TIA. Regards - Juergen.

'macro index h change-folder?tabjumpenter1enter' folder-hook =mutt 'macro index h change-folder?tabjumpenter2enter' folder-hook =vim 'macro index h change-folder?tabjumpenter3enter' ... etc etc where 'h' is the key you use to return to the browser from the index, and the order of folders is the order you have in the mailboxes command. The folder hooks essentially write a new macro for the key every time you enter that particular folder. The problem with this solution is that every time you add a new mailbox to your .muttrc, you need to rewrite the hooks. I wrote some vim mappings to do this more easily, but they are not robust, so I won't copy them here. -- Greg MathesonLanguage learning/teaching Chinmin College, is like hitting head against brick wall.

Opposite of 'P' navigation
In reading the docs I discovered 'P' for taking me to the parent message in a thread. Handy, but then I have to find my way back to the message I was reading. Is there a shortcut to take me back to the previously-viewed message? -- - Bruce

Folder navigation
Hi all, I am used to let procmail sort incoming messages into separate folders and start mutt with the "-y" option, such that I get a menu containing the folders specified by the mailboxes command. I have the following key bindings to mimick the behavior of tin, which is my favorite newsreader. bind generic right select-entry bind pager left exit bind index right display-message This allows me to navigate through my mailfolders and mail messages with mutt like I do through my subscribed newsgroups and postings with tin. So I can work through my mailfolders one after the other. However - unlike tin - when leaving a mailfolder, the cursor always jumps back to highlight the *first* folder in the list of mailfolders instead of the most recent one that I have just left. So what? Well, I have about 20 folders and if I have just left - let's say - the 17-th folder, I have to scroll all the way down to reach the 18-th folder (remember: I have already done this 16 times before). I know that I can alternatively enter the number of the folder, but it would be much more efficient just to hit the cursor-down-cursor-right key sequence to enter the next folder. To make a long story short: How can I make the cursor highlight the last visited mailbox in the folder view rather than the first one in the list? TIA. Regards - Juergen.
