Actually the manual specifies this pretty nicely: == the fine manual, chapter 3.11: Many users receive e-mail under a number of different addresses. To fully use Mutt's features here, the program must be able to recognize what e-mail addresses you receive mail under. That's the purpose of the alternates command: It takes a list of regular expressions, each of which can identify an address under which you receive e-mail. > Help a poor struggler. This is my one (basicly a huge set of regexes that match all the email addresses I consider mine): alternates ^kandre@ak-online\.be$ ^kandre+.*@ak-online\.be$ ^root@ak-online\.be$ ^kandre@cacert\.org$ ^andre\.klaerner@hsh-online\.com$ Regards, Andre -- Andre Klärner
