selective message deletion
Dear Friends, Being a new user of mutt to pick up mail from my isp's POP server, I'm wondering if mutt can be configured to leave read messages on the POP machine while deleting those mostly spam pieces one deletes without even opening. This was feature of elm I liked, but because of a configuration change on the jtan system, it's easiest for me to use mutt and the POP server.

Sure, just browse the pop server, do: c change mailbox pop://pop.example.com Use the normal commands to delete, save to a different mailbox, etc. Sam Quoting Brian McNeill [EMAIL PROTECTED], who wrote: Dear Friends, Being a new user of mutt to pick up mail from my isp's POP server, I'm wondering if mutt can be configured to leave read messages on the POP machine while deleting those mostly spam pieces one deletes without even opening.
