Dunno what that means... you have to tell it where to store Drafts, Trash, Sent messages, etc - what is so surprising about that? Once you tell it, you can then delete the folders it automatically created if you use differently named ones... > Well, once you get some of the amazingly bone-headed defaults corrected > tbird is pretty nice -- for people with eagle eyes who don't need an > integrated addressbook function, which describes no-one I know.... > > After much googling the conclusion is many many people are desperately > unhappy about the fonts in tbrd and incredibly, it ain't fixable! > Hard-coded font sizes -- isn't that, like, retardn00b mistake #4? > :) Easily fixable...

Jeeeezus, and people think mutt > is barebones, LOL (address autocompletion Just Works in mutt). Auto-completion's been working fine for me since 1.0...

Your dismissal is dismissed... Did you get Mutt configured to your liking in 30 seconds? Or did you actually spend a few minutes, and not ass-u-me that your initial dislikes were not fixable? > My users will bitch a blue streak over the lack of address autocomplete, > god forbid they should have to type anything longer than "OMGLOL"... My biggest gripe with the AB is its lack of printing options... I'd also like the ability to define certain AB's as to be NOT included in the autocomplete function... currently, it searches them all with no way to tell it to ignore any of them. So I'm not sure what your problem is...
