Regarding creating a sent-mail folder, use the record variable to specify a folder which gets copies of outgoing mail. For example, in my .muttrc, I have: set folder =~/.mail set mbox =~/.mail/inbox set postponed =~/.mail/postponed set record =~/.mail/outbox set spoolfile =~/.mail/inbox Now, when it comes to moving it every month - mutt is constantly fighting against mail client bloat, so if you ask about this on one of the mutt mailing lists, the official answer is: "Use cron, it's designed to do things exactly like this, it works, and it means we don't have to inflate the mail client anymore." So basically, just set up a quick monthly cron job that moves your sent-mail folder out of the way and touches a new one. -- Ian Peters "I never let schooling interfere with my education."
