Re: duplicates and x-labels
I tried to solve my problem (below) using offlineimap instead of imap. But now I have another problem. It seems that after adding an X-Label to a message locally, offlineimap doesn't propagate that change back to the mail server. I end up with messages that are labelled in my laptop but not in my work computer. I guess (haven't tried) that the reciprocal problem also exist and that messages labelled in my server wouldn't be labelled in my laptop. Is there a way to convince offlineimap to synch messages after being 'edited' through mutt?

A Really Simple Question . . .
. . . with, I hope, a simple answer. We all have our 'outbox's, right? the file/maildir/whatever where the mail we send. It has the typical six field, the fourth of which contains items like 'To Tom F', 'To Julie A', etc. But this is a fake fourth field! If I use the '/', to get a Search for: and I enter e.g. "Tom" or "Julie", the answer is "Not found."(unless of course 'Tom' is in the sixth field) Now it often happens that I want to see all the mail I've sent to Tom F. Is there a way to do that, applicable _only_ to the outbox? TIA for anticipated answers!

Port 25 is still used/usable if not blocked/hijacked by your isp, and then you can use a upper/higher port. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is an Internet standard for electronic mail (e-mail) transmission across Internet Protocol (IP) networks. SMTP was first defined by RFC 821 (1982, eventually declared STD 10),[1] and last updated by RFC 5321 (2008)[2] which includes the Extended SMTP (ESMTP) additions, and is the protocol in widespread use today. SMTP uses TCP port 25. The protocol for new submissions (MSA) is effectively the same as SMTP, but it uses port 587 instead. SMTP connections secured by SSL are known by the shorthand SMTPS, though SMTPS is not a protocol in its own right. > > no, not so. And I can do the same from windoz.

I can still read them and if I need > to post, can stoop to yahoo's web interface (twice in the last two years). Wrong. It's on at least some e-mail lists on googlegroups, too. I know---I'm on several of them (Android developer type lists). No SPF=PASS, and your posts go off into oblivion...not rejected, but not posted to the list, either, unless you use the web interface (which, as usual for web-based forum interfaces, sucks royally). I can confirm that it is NOT true for all googlegroups lists, however. I own one, and had a second one before that for a local club list. I shut the local club list down, however, when after a year or so, half of the club hadn't signed on (and just posted to the entire club by individual e-mail addresses), and the other half posted to the club AND each individual e-mail address. I decided that one was a waste of space and CANXd it. Neither of these were set (however it's set) to require SPF=PASS. Point is, just because you don't see the problem, doesn't mean it isn't there. That is why I posted the warning, and along that said that the list(s) in question "may be blocking" Obviously not all do that, but some do. If someone runs into that, IMHO, it's worth knowing ahead of time what's going wrong if/when it does so, wouldn't you agree? > One could set a my_hdr Bcc: based on send-hook, folder-hook, send2-hook or > reply-hook.

There is no *hack* but a legitimate mail configuration. It is a work-a-round for situation not to my liking but we do this constantly every day.

So I used my own domain address as a sending address. Gmail sent a validation email to confirm the address (usually a link is provided within the email) and I also set up mail forwarding to my own server, so I basically have all my mail sent to my mx server and respond from it, using my gmail account and others, as well as my own domain email. I think by setting up an address that you can send from in your gmail account, Gmail then accepts it as a valid address and so doesn't cause issues when sending out email using your gmail address in the From: header but being sent from another server. This option is kind-of like what Patrick suggested; i.e. using either your own local mta or sending through your ISP's smtp server. I might have misunderstood your problem but I think this might help. -- Primary Key: 4096R/1D31DC38 2011-12-03 Key Fingerprint: A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38

So does that mean you're using the program "getmail" using the "pop" protocol to download mail to your machine? Or, are you using mutt's built-in pop capabilities to read directly from the remote server? If you're downloading the mail using a program like "getmail" or "fetchmail" then you can use procmail to sort your mail into the local folders you desire. Otherwise, you will need to log into the Gmail web interface and set up filters so mail from different lists are filtered into mailboxes, or "Labels", created on the Gmail server. -- Primary Key: 4096R/1D31DC38 2011-12-03 Key Fingerprint: A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38

IMHO it's better to try to fix gmail problems (e.g. report the bug to them) than to use the hack soon to be obsolete. -- With best regards, xrgtn signature.asc Description: Digital signature
