Dear list,
I have just installed mutt, and I am little bit confused. I can see
my received emails, but I am not able to "switch" to my sent emails
folder. Is this the way mutt is supposed to work (only reading
received emails)?
You can set the sent directory. I think there is a default /~/sent(?)
Have a look in the documentation. ... ahh ... for the 'set record'
command.
thanks, I have the sent folder set up already.
set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder="~/.mail/"
set mbox="~/.mail/"
set spoolfile="~/.mail/inbox/"
set record="~/.mail/sent"
set postponed="~/.mail/drafts"
The problem is how to access it from mutt (how to see my sent emails).
The only solution I could find is to exit mutt, and start it with
mutt -f .mail/sent/
Otherwise, when I start mutt normally, I can only see my inbox (received
emails), but I don't know how to switch to sent folders.
Another question I would like to ask is: I have now three folders:
inbox, sent, drafts (as definded above). I would like to have another
folder "archive", where I could save my emails. (instead of keeping
everything in inbox). But AFAIK, "archive" is not defined in mutt. What
would be the best way to do it (preferably including a key-binding, so
that I could move messages from inbox to archive)?
many thanks,
Martin
