Automated archiving; compressed folders
In order to clean up my mailboxes, I'd like to move messages flagged important AND older than a month to an archive mailbox. Can this be done automatically? And/or based on scoring too? Also, it would be fine to have the archive box compressed. I'm using a patched mutt capable of that, but how to create and use a compressed archive folder? Andre Berger[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Re: vim procmail recipe
How about: :0 Whc: msgid.lock | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache :0 a: dupes.lock $HOME/Mail/duplicates This is the super safe version; if you're confident w/ this, you can drop the second recipe and the c flag from the first. It's not a matter of confidence. This _is_ the safe version. Read procmailrc(5), and if the above recipe (or some variation of it) is not there, upgrade to a newer version of procmail.
Making mutt see folders
Hi, I've been struggling with this for a few days now. I've got procmail to push my mail into different folders. So, for example, all mails from this list will go into ~/Mail/list-mutt. But how /exactly/ am I supposed to persuade Mutt to look at these, tell me there is new mail in them, and so on? I thought I wanted 'mailboxes' in the .muttrc but that doesn't seem to work. The entry I used was (I think, not at that PC right now, it probably isn't exactly right) 'mailboxes ~/Mail/list-mutt' but (unless I missed something) I still only see the default mailbox. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Gary Get your own FREE E-mail address at http://www.linuxfreemail.com Linux FREE Mail is 100% FREE, 100% Linux, and 100% yours!

syntax highlighting in pager - browse mail fas
Hi everyone, I would like to get Mutt to highlight the subject line while I browse my mail. Why? I go through about 500-600 emails a day (mostly mailing lists) and it would be nice to page through these in the pager mode and delete the threads as I go in this mode. Currently, I scan things through the index since my eyes can't quite speed through things as fast in the pager. This was just my gut feeling for how to speed through mail in the pager. Anyone have any other clever ways? I'd love to hear how others browse through high quantities of mail. TIA, -Thomas
Message while delivering mail
Hi, When I am trying to deliver a slightly modified email from the "sent" folder to a different user, I get the following message: "Mailbox was externally modified. Flags may be wrong."

keep mailbox marked new
hi, how do i keep a mailbox (in the pager) marked as new when there are still unread mails in that box. e.g. when i got 2 new mail in a mailbox (marked N), than enter the mailbox and read only 1 mail, than leave the mailbox, the mailbox is not marked N anymore, even if i left one mail unread. does anyone got a hint? greetz jo.

Set mark_old=no. I use mbox, and this works just fine. set mark_old=yes Name: mark_old Type: boolean Default: yes Controls whether or not Mutt makes the distinction between new messages and old unread messages. By default, Mutt will mark new messages as old if you exit a mailbox without reading them. The next time you start Mutt, the messages will show up with an "O" next to them in the index menu, indicating that they are old. In order to make Mutt treat all unread messages as new only, you can unset this variable. (darren) -- For every problem, there is a solution that is simple, elegant, logical, and wrong.

Yeah, how exactly are you supposed to filter mail into seperate mailboxes when using Maildir? Procmail currently provide support for maildir. Beginning about v3.11, there was a patch that added support for maildir. Before that, there was a small utility (by David DeSimone) that provided support; you might a reference to it in old (1998 or earlier) mutt mailing list archives.

you do! everything is quite fine now. only funny thing: right
after leaving a mailbox with an unread mail, the mailbox is not
marked new ("N"), but e.g. when i enter another mailbox and then
return it is marked as new :-)

saving hooks for archives
I know it is possible and the solution is easy, but I just can't get that to work (shame on me). Whatever I try, I get either too few arguments or just a message, error in line xx. I read the docs and the archives and Sure I will bang my head against the wall afterwards, but until then I appreciate your help. Situation: Incomming mail is /var/mail/me, I use mbox format. Mutts list is subscribed, with the pattern mutt-users. Mail archives are for example kept in - ~/Mail/archive/mutt.users - ~/Mail/archive/other.all I read my mail, tag some for deletion and some for saving. When saving I have to override the proposal (the from address) with my archive file. Question: How do I have to define the save-hooks so that - mutt mails go automatically to mutts archive file - other mails go automatically to others archive file Thank you. -- Erika

why is mutt not acknowedlging all my folders?
OK, So I use 'c' all the time to go through all of my mailboxes and find out which box has new mail. A couple of questions. It appears Mutt is only acknowledging some of my mail folders (all in maildir format in the same folder base) when they have new mail. I've currently got about 7 different mailing lists but mutt only seems to pick three of these. It also cycles them in a specific order: Redhat - Bind - Mutt (each time) But it never gets to the others (Python, Qmail ,etc) Q1: How do I control which folders will show up when I hit c (assuming the folder has new mail)?
