thanks for your reply. I have read the "man fetchmail" (some
parts where hard to understand there) and still don't know, how
to separate my incoming mail into several files which I could
poll with mutt. Like the messages addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
should be appended to /home/alex/Mail/openbsd and the messages
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the file /home/alex/Mail/modperl. And
the rest should go to /var/mail/alex (or should I better use the
file /home/alex/Mail/inbox ?).
Could someone please provide me an example?
Here is what I have tried sofar (.fetchmailrc):
set postmaster "alex"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
poll mail with proto POP3
user alex there with password XXX is alex here
And .muttrc:
lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailboxes ! =modperl =openbsd
save-hook [EMAIL PROTECTED] +modperl
save-hook [EMAIL PROTECTED] +openbsd
If save-hook isn't for separating incoming messages, what
is its purpose in mutt then?
Thank you
Alex
