Since the mails go to separate accounts anyway, why not fetch the mail to two separate folders, and configure mutt to read both? > I'd like mutt to check whether a mail came from a mailing > list and display only those mail at ones that belong to > the same mailing list.

You can acheive this, although I personally prefer sorting and threading to make this less configuration specific. > When I end my mutt session I'd want mutt to store the > read mails in seperate mail boxes, each for every mailing > list I'm subscribed. You can do this with save hooks, but you'll have to manually save after reading. > Those remaining mails that don't belong to a mailing list should be > moved to a general list. Move them to a readmail folder, for example, this can be done. > Is that possible with mutt and if yes how can I do this??? Too many ways to skin a cat. Do it with the dog ;-) or do it with fetchmail, with procmail perhaps. Depending on how important it is for all this to be automatic, and whether or not you will ever access your mail with another client / via webmail, will guide the decisions. I think mutt should be left for reading your mail and moving it about, but automating things /before/ you even read the mail (moving unread messages into folders dependent on address sent to, etc) might be better acheived with something like procmail. > Then I have a question regarding address books - is there support > for something alike in mutt?? There are aliases, which allow you to have nicknames for all your contacts, and these can be browsable. However, name, address, telephone and all that is outside the scope of aliases in mutt. > Ps.: could you please CC me answers cause I'm not on the list. I didn't think this list could be posted to by non members. I am now going to have to find your address and copy-paste it up to the CC line.
