Nope. mutt can pull down your POP mail; the download key is by default 'G'. It doesn't know from multiple accounts, though, amongst other possible pitfalls. Once you have the mail in your folder (all dumped there in a pile), you could use mbox-hooks and perhaps message-hooks to define where to save the messages (like into their proper folders), but it would be tedious. mutt is not meant to filter. % % Or I have to pipe the mails to procmail? How to do it? When I try, I tag all % the mails and pipe to "formail -s procmail" but procmail complains about % locking and unlocking file. Hmmm... I'm no procmail expert, but shouldn't you just pipe to procmail instead of to formail? Just checking... % % Can the whole thing be done by invoking mutt and/procmail in command line? If you got it working at all, you could probably create a push line that feeds in the right keystrokes, but it's really not the way to go. % % I do not use fetchmail because the recent version requires the cryto libraries % which make the whole thing big and slow. What about going back to a previous version if you can't just configure the crypto to off when you build it? :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
