Re: mutt and exchange
Gregory Seidman said: Happily, I have mutt playing nice with the Exchange server at work over IMAP. This pleases me. Now I am looking for further interaction with the Exchange server. In particular, it is my understanding that there is some way to use the global (and personal?) address book(s) on the server. Maybe it's LDAP? By default, Exchange turns on POP and IMAP, and also LDAP. You can browse the GAL (Global Address List) via LDAP, but not personal address books. Perhaps it has something to do with the query functions? Do I need an external program to help? Is there a HOWTO somewhere (Google did not find anything useful for mutt exchange howto)? Good question. Dunno how mutt integrates with LDAP, but I know I have used Outlook Express to query a GAL via LDAP. If you need to configure a firewall or anything, LDAP access is port 389, I believe. -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF Member, LEAF Project http://leaf.sourceforge.netAIM: MikeLeone Public Key - http://www.mike-leone.com/~turgon/turgon-public-key.asc Registered Linux user# 201348 Random Thought: --

You don't want them marked as old and unread; you don't want them to stay marked as new (which implies unread), if you exit and restart mutt. What do you want, then? I want 4 levels (in the same mailbox, to get the benefit of threading): 1) Messages that mustn't be deleted. 2) Messages I've read but I want to keep for some time. 3) Messages I've read or partly read which I need to read again (e.g. because I need to reply or to look at a URL or whatever). Well, mutt can't know that you want to read them again. :-) To mutt, it's read. Whether you want to keep it or not, or want to reply later, is your decision. And so you've flagged them. 4) Really new messages. So I use: 1) flagged read 2) read 3) old (or flagged old) 4) new I'm still not understanding where the problem is. You get new mail; it's flagged as new. You exit mutt. You restart mutt. The message is still flagged as new (presuming that you unset mark_old in your .muttrc). Have you not picked up exactly where where you left off, before you exited mutt? The messages that were flagged as new (meaning unread) are still flagged that way, aren't they? Or are you saying that their status has changed in some other way? You wanted unread mail to still show as unread, even if you exit and restart mutt, or am I misunderstanding what you want? -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF Member, LEAF Project http://leaf.sourceforge.netAIM: MikeLeone Public Key - http://www.mike-leone.com/~turgon/turgon-public-key.asc ( Memoriam ) ;===;() # # # #:: # # # #:: # # # #:: # # # #:: # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Random Thought: -- Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.

The username and password are right, since I use them successfully with Outlook. Much the same thing happens with Mozilla mail, incidentally. Is there any way to get more information? Is imap the wrong choice for dealing with Exchange? Do I need something more in the URL?

Re: overriding the charset for headers

All three inboxes I use are IMAP; how can I use procmail with it? I can define a macro that would do what I want, but how would it take the input, and where it should store the output? a local process (procmail) cannot work on remote data (mail on IMAP server). so i expect it just won't work. i'd use fetchmail to download only the necessary messages and then filter them locally - with procmail. Unless you can also get a shell account on the IMAP server. Then you can use procmail on the IMAP server, as you want. You'd have to ask your email provider. -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF Member, LEAF Project http://leaf.sourceforge.netAIM: MikeLeone Public Key - http://www.mike-leone.com/~turgon/turgon-public-key.asc Some days you're the pigeon; some days you're the statue.

Re: New mail notification problems
John Iverson said: * On Mon, 19 Aug 2002, Mike Leone wrote: I use Maildir with IMAP, and I see *no* new mail notifications on the folders at all. When I open the mailbox (maildir), yes - the index or pager shows new messages. But using the c command to switch folders only ever shows the name of the folder, and not a new mail notification symbol. You're saying that you do see a new mail indicator on Maildir (i.e., IMAP) folders? Maildir, but not IMAP (perhaps I misused a term somewhere). No, you can use Maildir format when not using IMAP. I used to use local Maildir format mailboxes (which are, in reality, directories) with a POP account. I'm referring to the mailbox browser screen which appears when you press ? after pressing c. Yes, that's what I'm referring to, as well. Yes, I do see the new mail indicators, except for the mailbox I just came from. (Doesn't matter if I press tab to switch between mailbox and file views.) When I first start mutt with mutt -y (i.e. there is no last-visited mailbox), the new mail indicators for all mailboxes seem to work. My indicators never work, but perhaps that's because they're IMAP folders, on a remote machine (my mail server). Just curious if this is normal behavior or not. There did not seem to be a conclusion last time it was discussed, and I thought it possible that this is what the original poster was experiencing. -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF Member, LEAF Project http://leaf.sourceforge.netAIM: MikeLeone These are the memories which make me a wealthy soul ...

Re: [OT] Re: spamassassin
Philip Mak said: An off-topic query concerning spamassassin: Can it be set to delete spam automatically (I'm not so interested in just *marking* spam, because if it only marks spam I still have to sift through it), without getting too many false positives? No. The next version of SA - due out this week - removes the capability to do delivery of email, so you'll have to rely on procmail or maildrop to do delivery or deletion. And there's no way to delete without getting too many false positives - you either delete things marked as spam, or not delete. It's not really conditional. :-) You do run the risk of losing legitimate mail if you delete. If you don't, ... well, you should be able to tell legit mail merely by quickly looking at the subject lines. No need to read the mail. -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF Member, LEAF Project http://leaf.sourceforge.netAIM: MikeLeone These are the memories which make me a wealthy soul ...
