Done so. I also added the following to my .procmailrc: DEFAULT=$HOME/Mail/mbox This way, my $MAIL file is never greater than 0 bytes -> all mail gets moved out of there. Now, as mutt reads $MAIL by default, I would like to know how to change this behaviour. I tried zgrep'ing /usr/dox/mutt for this, but have not found anything. ($MAIL is /var/spool/mail/svn) I dont want to *not* use procmail's DEFAULT as my default inbox is ~/Mail/mbox and not ~/mbox as mutt suggests. (Even if I did use ~/mbox, I'd still have to press 'y' instead of just hitting Enter which is annoying :)) > 'c' in mutt changes from one folder to another.

For this, I have the following in my .muttrc: mailboxes $HOME/Mail/mbox mailboxes $HOME/Mail/debian-user mailboxes $HOME/Mail/debian-isp mailboxes $HOME/Mail/debian-firewall mailboxes $HOME/Mail/debian-user-de Funnily tho, when hitting <TAB>, I get a "listing" of the _directory_ ~/Mail. This way I also see my procmail logfile which I don't want to see when I browse through my mails; besides I didn't add it to my mailboxes in .muttrc... Isn't this weird or am I just doing something fundamentally wrong here? :) I get to like mutt more and more every day. TIA Sven -- Powered by Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
