Hi all, I have just started using mutt maily cos' all email clients sucks and mutt sucks less. I wanted an email client on console and mutt was one. For me an email client is an email client and i don't want to spend hours learning it. It should just send my mails, filter mails, have an address book etc. I am also using getmail, maildrop with mutt. Like Jacek I am also facing similar problems and none of the replies satisfy me. Pobably there was a communication gap which I will try to bridge with more simple language. Like Jacek I also have many questions, but for now these are the foremost. These are the bare essentials to have a feel of an email client. I have skimmed over various muttrcs and the manual also, but have not found any satisfactory solution for this.
1. Please tell a plain answer ;-), if I have a files like Mail/inbox, Mail/friends. I get maildrop to do filtering. Now if I go to Mail/inbox and find that a particular mail should have gone to Mail/friends, how do i MOVE it form there to Mail/friends. In The Bat for windows or Kmail for Linux I used to drag-and-drop that particular mail. Here what do I do? 2. Also when I fire mutt I get a list of my folders like I said Mail/inbox, Mail/friends, Mail/mutt. Now I want to see there in the index itself whether I have any unread mails in any of the folder and if possible the number of unread mails. My set index_format line is, set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15F (%4l) %s" Please just tell me what do I need to put in my .muttrc to fulfill the above requirement. Thanks a lot and would be eagerly waiting for any fruitful replies. -Payal
