% First, thanks to everyone so far for their help.  I'm finding
% Mutt challenging but fun, and with the help from this group,
% it's even better.

Yay!


% 
% Second, 3 quick questions:
% 
% 1.  Where do D (deleted) msgs go?  Is there an equivalent of
% trash, or am I truly out of the disneyland GUI world now and
% just like using rm on files, there's no going back.

With the stock version, that's the way it is.

Cedric Duval has written a very nice trash folder patch, which can be
found at

  http://cedricduval.free.fr/mutt/

or on my cocktail page at 

  http://mutt.justpickone.org/mutt-build-cocktail

for your nabbing.  Now that you've built mutt once, build it again :-)

Other folks have in the past whipped up some macros that bind 'd' to
actually save to some other folder where you *then* really delete the
messages later.


% 
% 2.  When I'm in the index mode with all mail listed and I've 
% marked a bunch with D, is there a keystroke command that will
% flush out all of the D items so there's only N or O mail in there?

You've seen the sync command in Mark's reply, I figure.


% 
% 3.  This is the question that bothers me most: Let's say I have
% three email POP3 email accounts on three different ISP/domains.  
...
% addresses in the From header.  I tried setting 'set alternates =
% the other accts', but that didn't seem to do it.  So some 

alternates is good, but not the whole story.


% general guidance would be appreciated here.  I'm getting the 
% feeling I'll need to use hooks, but I haven't quite figured all
% that out yet.

You want to set $reverse_name so that you will reply to a message using
the address to which it was sent.

If you just want to send a fresh message as a certain account, then
a send-hook might help you (so that you can pick your identity based
on where you're sending) or using a folder-hook and sending from that
folder or, as a last resort, just having macros that change who you are
with a keystroke or two.

% Thanks
