Hi, folks --
I'm [finally!] drafting up a mutt FAQ entry on filtering incoming email
to answer all of those "how do I get mutt to move my mail for me?"
questions. So far, I have found mention of
procmail
maildrop
mailfilter
sieve
exim
though I don't yet have (because I haven't yet looked) a URL for exim
(and I know it's an MTA) and also of elm's filter (though I know it can
lose mail and such).
I'm trying to learn more about what an IMAP-only user would do; it seems
that none of these will work without shell access on the IMAP server, so
we're back to mutt doing the filtering.
Now, is mbox-hook what I want? The typical user is going to have all of
his email dumped right into $MAIL and then want mutt to move Linux stuff
here and mutt stuff there and cron jobs elsewhere, and I don't know that
mbox-hook gives me that. Maybe save-hook instead?
TIA for any input you can provide, particularly for the last case. Did
anyone ever write that IMAP filtering tool mentioned a few months back? :-)
:-D
