Quick mail advice / Laptop use
Hi All, I noticed that fetchmail created a file mbox but Mutt creates a 'Mail' directory however the mail seems to download into /var/mail Mutt asks me on exit to copy to mbox format. The Mail directory also has only one folder and on exit is empty. /var/mail still has copies. Can anyone clear up my confusions ; Where should mail be located ? How can I configure a 'sent items' for Mutt? How can I create an address book for Mutt? I know this would be better on the Mutt list but I also know there are some big Mutt fans here and asI am trying this on FreeBSD maybe more relevent ? And lastly, APM or ACPI what the best one to go with on my HP OmniBook 6000 and how to configure suspend etc etc Thanks a mill for any advice ! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

if you can, ACPI. if it doesn't work, try APM.
Check the handbook for docs on this - else the archives for mobile@ and
questions@ have LOTS on these 2 subjects.

I use qmail, procmail and getmail so I use Maildirs How can I configure a 'sent items' for Mutt? I don't know what this means. If you want a copy of all your outgoing then put: set copy=yes in .muttrc How can I create an address book for Mutt? touch a file called .mail_aliases in your homedir and fill it with your addresses, one per line. E.g: alias b FreeBSD UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] Put: set alias_file=~/.mail_aliases source .mail_aliases in .muttrc You should then be able to mail freebsd-users UK by putting b in the To: field (it will expand). Or hitting t and then tab will bring up all your aliases to choose from. Once you've got a few addresses in .mail_aliases run it through sort(1) to make it more easily readable. I know this would be better on the Mutt list but I also know there are some big Mutt fans here and asI am trying this on FreeBSD maybe more relevent ? Your best bet is either to join the mutt mailing list or comp.mail.mutt.
