Re: Identifying multiple imap accounts with new mail in sidebar
Hi Neubienaut, > I would like to view my various imap accounts in the sidebar with count > of new messages so I don't have to reopen each account in mutt (with mutt > -f 'imap config file') to check for new mail. I'm trying something similar but there are a few problems with the sidebar. Please see my mail (Dec 22 and Jan 23) to the mutt list: "sidebar inconsistencies or misunderstandings" Unfortunately nobody replied to my request which either means that I'm asking for too much or that noone knows a solution. Or I'm completely misunderstanding some concepts - I hope not. > Now, what I would like to do is setup a system so that I can determine which > email accounts have new mail and open them in mutt For that to work mutt needs open connections to the other accounts. I haven't figured out yet how to do that right at the start of mutt. So I'm using this trick: I defined a folder-hook for every account like this: folder-hook "imaps://USER1@SERVER1/INBOX" push '1^mC^uimaps://USER2@SERVER2/INBOX.mutt-trash-pls-ignore^mC^uimaps://USER3@SERVER3/mutt-trash-pls-ignore^mG'' Now when I start mutt for USER1@SERVER1 it jumps to the first message (which is an empty dummy message I leave in the INBOX) and "saves" it to a dummy folder on the other accounts. This makes mutt open imap connections to the other accounts. Every once in a while I have to empty the dummy folders. One advantage of this trick is that mutt can announce new messages in all accounts. Either through the browse-mailboxes command or in the sidebar. And TAB completion for folders in the other accounts works right from the start of mutt. If anyone knows a better solution I'd be VERY HAPPY to know about it.

I don't have any experience with a sidebar in mutt, but do have a setup with two accounts (one POP, one IMAP). I just have to start mutt and can switch between the accounts by pressing `F2` or `F3` for each of the accounts. The IMAP account updates automatically when opened, the POP account needs a Shift+G to check for new mails -- a choice I made to either download new mail and delete them on the server, or to preserve a copy on the server. The setting works with folder-hooks in my muttrc that point to files with settings for both accounts. The `source` in the lines below point to that file. Since the IMAP mails are kept on the external server, there is no directory structure on my box to keep the mails. For the POP account the default mutt directory structure is used. The Arch Linux site has very good instructions to make your mutt setup work! See wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mutt Hope this helps you in making a comfortable setup!

Identifying multiple imap accounts with new mail in sidebar
Hello all, Any thoughts or suggestions on how to accomplish the next step in my mutt setup process? I would like to view my various imap accounts in the sidebar with count of new messages so I don't have to reopen each account in mutt (with mutt -f 'imap config file') to check for new mail. LONGER EXPLANATION I recently decided to revisit mutt as my email client after about a ten year hiatus from mutt. I have been having fun over the past week setting up various config files and such. I currently have multiple mutt config files (muttrc) for the different imap accounts I have. I use aliases in bash to open up the different accounts So, in bash: gmn = will open neubienaut gmail imap account (mutt -F config file 1) prn = will open neubienaut protonmail account (mutt -F config file 2) I have the sidebar setup so that the account's sub folders are visible in the sidebar when a particular account is opened set imap_check_subscribed = yes set sidebar_sort_method=alpha set sidebar_folder_indent = yes Now, what I would like to do is setup a system so that I can determine which email accounts have new mail and open them in mutt so that I don't have to open each email account beforehand, in a separate script, to determine which accounts have new mail and which accounts do not have new mail. I have 5+ email accounts so it is a bit cumbersome to open each account. An example of what I am trying to achieve would be Thunderbird that has a list of all my email accounts in the sidebar and let's me know which accounts have new email except I don't necessarily want all the email accounts and subfolders to show up in the sidebar at the same time. For the next step in my setup process I would like to be able to either 1. a. show all imap accounts in sidebar with number of new messages. b. then, by selecting a particular imap account with new email in sidebar c. I can then go to the sub-folder view for that account and check the new mail 2 a. Have a script in bash that can poll the various imap accounts and check for new email. b. find the first imap account with new email and open that account in mutt c. when mutt is closed, rerun the script to check for remaining accounts with new mail d. open the next account with new mail e. repeat process until and accounts with new mail have been viewed 3 Maybe some third idea for checking all my accounts I haven't thought of? Any thoughts or suggestions on how to accomplish the next step in my mutt setup process? TIA

Have a look at neomutt. It's based on mutt, and might or might
not be different in relation to account hooks.

Kind of. I found this:
[mutt] Multiple email accounts using hooks
https://nixtricks.wordpress.com/2010/05/20/mutt-multiple-email-accounts-using-hooks/
It has an initial account-hook matching . that unsets things,
followed by other account-hooks that sets them depending on
the account.
So, multiple account-hook directives can match the same account.
It just depends on the regular expressions used. But that might
not be useful to you. I'm not sure why you want different
account-hooks for the same account.
If you want two different sets of parameters for the same account
(does that even make sense?), then you might need to put them in
different rc files, and perhaps create key bindings to load the one
you want when you want to change.

Good question. It's not clear from just the account-hook entry in
muttrc(5). From the webpage mentioned above, it looks like the
regexp needs to match the imap URI
(e.g., 'imaps://us...@imap.gmail.com/').

No, but the same thing can be achieved with alternate muttrc files
and the -F option. When you run "mutt -F work" or "mutt -F floss",
the work and floss rc files can contain their specific imap settings,
and then source a common rc file with everything else.
For saving to the other account, macros would help.
If you really like your config syntax above, you could probably
write a little tool that "compiled" it into muttrc syntax.

multiple IMAP accounts on one server?
Hi,
I am looking for the terminal-based MUA which would be able to
work with my email needs. However, for various reasons I really
need all my emails stay on multiple IMAP accounts (no local
emails if possible). I have started with mutt as it is the
client I know best, but I am not married to it, if you know
about anything better (Alpine?, notmuch?, anything else) which
could help me, then I am all ears.
account-hook .*localhost 'set imap_user=matej imap_pass=secret1 \
from="Matěj Cepl "
folder=imap://localhost.localdomain \
trash=+Trash postponed=+Drafts'
# account-hook mcepl 'set imap_user=mc...@cepl.eu imap_pass="secret2" \
# from="Matěj Cepl " \
# folder=imaps://redcrew.org trash=+Trash postponed=+Drafts'
account-hook .*redcrew.org 'set imap_user="ma...@ceplovi.cz" \
imap_pass= "secret3" \

account-hook .*suse.de 'set imap_user=mcepl@Thunderbird \

The problem is obviously mc...@cepl.eu account.

IMAP server?
* What EXACTLY are possible values of the first parameter of

}

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Multiple IMAP accounts
I've been using Mutt for a good few years now, but only started using it over IMAP a year or so ago and now I've started using multiple IMAP accounts with it. Setting this up was straight forward enough, and I can cycle through mailboxes with new mail in quite happily, but only if I have already checked mail once. What I'm trying to do, and haven't yet worked out how, is connect to all the IMAP mail accounts when I first start Mutt, so Mutt knows which ones have new mail in without having to manually change into each one first. Can anyone point me to some good references for this, I've not managed to spot what I'm looking for with Google or on the Mutt Wiki so far. Another thing I'll be looking at is a means to save me typing in the full details of each mail account in order to switch between them. I'm particularly keen on this since they are all on the same server and each account name is the email address and things get quite long winded even with tab completion! I'm thinking that something along the lines of a macro or a bind line in my muttrc file should do the trick here, but since I'm typing if anyone has a pointer it may save me some time :) -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 == Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU

Multiple IMAP accounts
Hello, i'm currently using two imap accounts with mutt (let's call them account A and account B). I set up accounthooks for each account to define spoolfiles, mbox, records etc. Mail is checked in all subscribed folders, but that's exaclty the problem i have. During startup mutt connects to account A and lists correctly all folders I'm subscribed to. New messages for all the mailboxes in account A are displayed. To see all subscribed folders and checks on new mail in account B won't work until I manually open one mailbox in account B. Is there any better way to have multiple accounts working in mutt? Something like an automatical connection to account B when starting mutt? My mutt version is 1.5.17, relevant parts of my mutt configuration: ## set imap_authenticators= set imap_delim_chars=/. set imap_keepalive=300 unset imap_list_subscribed set imap_passive set imap_peek set imap_servernoise set mail_check=60 set imap_check_subscribed # Account A set spoolfile=imap://localhost:6000/INBOX set record=imap://localhost:6000/sentmail set postponed=imap://localhost:6000/postponed set mbox=imap://localhost:6000/savedmail set folder=imap://localhost:6000/ account-hook .

multiple IMAP accounts, sidebar
I have several IMAP accounts on the same server, imap://localhost:14300 (SSH tunneled). I want to be able to see all the new mail in one spot, so I use the sidebar patch. It seems problematic to use account-hook or folder-hook because all of the accounts are on the same host. I set up stuff like 127.0.0.1 m1 m2 m3 m4 m5 in /etc/hosts to facilitate doing stuff like mailboxes imap://m1:14300/INBOX account-hook imap://m1:14300/ 'set imap_user=u1 imap_pass=p1' folder-hook imap://m1:14300 'set spoolfile=imap://m1:14300/INBOX folder=imap://m1:14300/' etc. If I do that for each account, my sidebar looks like INBOX INBOX INBOX INBOX all indistinguishable. Not too useful. If I leave /INBOX off of the mailboxes directive, I get a more meaningful folder name in the sidebar, but I need meaningful names for all the various folders. I could hack by creating lots of /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 aliases and lots of folder-hooks, but sheesh. It's just seeming ridiculously difficult to do this. Someone, please save me. Thanks.

Do you have (at least some) control over the server? If so, then the best thing to do is alias the different e-mail addresses all to one user on the server, and then use procmail to filter mail to different addresses into different folders. That's what I do. I have multiple domains on the same mail server, and numerous accounts in each domain, and they are all just aliases to the same user. Procmail filters them into various folders, either based on who they were sent by, or which of my accounts they were sent to.

If you have already replied to comp.mail.mutt, my news server hasn't received the post yet.

Managing multiple IMAP accounts
I'm having trouble trying to access two IMAP accounts on the same server.

{user@host}. There is no solution for imap_pass. But once you've
connected, the account information for each account is cached. So you
can log in to one account, set imap_pass to the password for your next
account, and connect to it. Once the connections are established you
should be fine. You may wish to write some "profile" macros to do some
of this for you.
I'm interested in writing some sort of account-hook code later to
handle changing these sorts of parameters when you use another
account. But for now, this will have to do...

OK, thanks, this makes it quite usable.

That would be nice, but I must admit this is just an occasional
requirement when I've decided to do a big re-arrangement for some
reason or another.

Multiple IMAP accounts?
Has anyone come up with a way to access multiple IMAP accounts on different servers from mutt? Or even a way to configure a macro that will switch me from one to the other? Or am I stuck setting up two seperate .muttrc files and restarting mutt to switch? Gracias, Ben -- "There is no spoon" -- The Matrix

Been there, done that, forgot the documentation :-]

Works even with multiple accounts on the same server.
