Mutt and courier-imap
Hello all, I'm using Mutt locally with Maildir folders, and now I would like to run courier-imap on top of this. So I want to: (1) use ssh+mutt and (2) use thunderbird+imap(s) to access my mail, both using the same Maildir tree. Is this possible? I.e., mutt and courier are using (R/W access) the same physical mail store. Any pointers would be appreciated. I guess an alternative would be to have Mutt use IMAP on the localhost? Thanks a lot, John pgpcHHPzI61RF.pgp Description: PGP signature

jump to a message given by filename
Hello all, I would like to use mutt with an external search tool (like beagle) to search for mails in my local maildirs. More precisely, I would like to open the file cur/1168331824.2665_3.pc:2,S in the =thisone maildir folder in mutt to read that email and possibly answer it. (and, of course, mutt should apply the =thisone folder-specific hooks). How can I specify this in the command line? mutt -f =thisone/cur/116 does not work. Thanks for any help in advance.

I think the -e, as cumbersome as that is, is probably your best bet.
The thing with mutt is that it supports all kinds of different mail
storage types, so the authors are usually unwilling to add features
that only work for some (i.e. say we had --read-mail-in-file as an
option, how would that work with, say, an mbox?).
That said, and assuming you have something like the mess822 package
installed, what you want could be a pretty simple script like so:
#!/bin/bash
filename="$1"
messageid=`822field Message-ID < $filename`
messageid="${messageid//\$/\$}"
mailbox="${filename%/*/*}"
mutt -e 'push "~i '$messageid'"' \
-f "$mailbox"

I used Mutt, connecting via imaps to localhost; Evolution via imaps on Solaris Express, Mail on Mac OS X and I also used sqwebmaild to provide a web interface. I had no issues with this setup either. I also used procmail to sort the mail into various Maildir folers. Cheers, Steve

A better idea:
awk '{if(tolower($0)~/^message-id: /){print $2;exit}}'
It's a better idea only because this way you don't need two programs
to do the work of one. :)
A simpler, but slightly less generic one would be:
awk '/^[Mm]essage-[Ii][Dd]: /{print $2; exit}'

It's possible; you'll probably want to adjust the setting of $mask so you can see the - I used to use 'set mask="^\\."'.

The real juice of the Maildir++ standard isn't the subfolders either, but is the better way of generating filenames during delivery. (Maildir assumes that PIDs are unique within a single second, and Maildir++ does not). > but I don't think it's been maintained.

Yeah - it was just a cosmetic patch. I didn't actually try it myself, since I also wasn't really bugged by doing it as you describe; but it's not really that neat. I think it makes more sense for folders to show up as =foo/bar rather than =.foo.bar or whatever (of course you'd still be able to access the actual mailbox path by not prefixing with = or +). w

Hi list, I do know it's a Gmail thing, but it's annoying: every time I send a mail to a mailing list (using smtp.gmail.com), gmail "filters" it when the mailing list sends me a copy of my message.

Or, even better, use hooks that select $sendmail depending on if you're sending a message to a mailing list or not. So, for private messages you can safely use Gmail's smtp servers and have no need to bcc yourself. In my case, that would be two simple hooks: # msmtp will automatically choose gmail's server if the From header # contains a predefined gmail address, and use the local server if not. folder-hook . 'set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp" # Force the local MTA for mailing lists. folder-hook .lists 'set sendmail="/usr/bin/sendmail" Cheers. -- redondos pgpS1I6R4LIbQ.pgp Description: PGP signature
