By default mutt marks untouched new mail as "old". You can toggle that by unsetting $mark_old. On the other hand you can color messages flagged old (~O), too. > 2) The IMAP server contains "Trash" and "Sent Items" folders for my use. > ~ How can I configure Mutt to automatically place copies of outgoing mail > into "Sent Items" and place deleted mails into "Trash"? Set $record="+Sent Items". You need to point $folder to the imap server first. Vanilla mutt doesn't have a build-in trash function. There is a nice patch from Cedric Duval available at http://cedricduval.free.fr/mutt/ You can set $trash=+Trash after applying the patch.
