Hello!
I have 3 e-mail accounts, all on different systems (my ISP, university and
softhome.net) with different usernames.
On my home linux machine I again use different username (niki) and I downloaad mail
form all 3 e-mail accounts to this local account with fetchmail. So all
e-mail ends up in one inbox but that doesnt bother me that much. It is much
more convinient than loging in 3 different local accounts to check each
mailbox.
I was wondering if it's possible to have mutt configured to put apropriate address in
From: header ,when replying to a message, that depends on which original address
message was received. For example if mail was received on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then put that address in From field in reply, but if it was received on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] then put that address in From: header, etc etc.
I set up 'alternates' in .muttrc and that part is working.
Is there any other more elegant solution for handling multiple e-mail
accounts on a single local account?
The only idea I have is to use suffix (or prefix) with username on local
machine and then have local MTA (exim in my case) filter that mail to
apropriate folder depending on the suffix.
For example:
In .fetchmailrc
poll pop.softhome.net with proto POP3
user "nix" there with password "xxxxxx" is niki-softhome here
poll mail.uni.hr with proto POP3
user "nikola" there with password "xxxxxx" is niki-uni here
and then setup MTA to deliver that mail to $HOME/.Mail/$suffix
Set mailboxes variable in .muttrc, and appropriate send-hook for each
mailbox (if that is possible).
Thanks,
Nikola
