Does it work if there is no new messages?

Compiling Mutt on a Macbook Pro and recommendation for mailing list

2009-01-05 Thread John J. Foster
I got a MBP for Christmas (yippie) and am looking for a good howto on
compiling Mutt on it. I have been running 1.5.18 from HEAD, and would
like to continue. I don't want, at least initially, to install either
MacPorts or Fink. I'm also looking for a good Mac mailing list that
leans toward the admin side of things.

Any and all help appreciated.

Thanks,
festus

Without MacPorts or Fink, the installation instructions are really the  
same as for any barebone Unix system.  Enjoy.


(In other words, you *really* want MacPorts.  Or Fink.)

Weird sorting possibilites?

2009-01-05 Thread Robin Lee Powell

A friend has some rather peculiar needs in dealing with large
volumes of mail.

I'm trying to show her mutt, but I've just noticed that sort=from
sorts all the mails from one's self together, which really isn't
what we want.

Is there any way to sort by "from address unless it's mine, in which
case use the to address"?

First of all, that only works if you have $auto_tag set. Otherwise the 
 function won't apply to all the tagged messages. The way 
to do it that will work no matter your configuration and no matter 
whether there are any new messages is this:

~T~N~T

Well, you asked a difficult question, so I'll break it into two parts:

Part 1: Is there an *easy* way to sort by "from address unless it's 
 mine, in which case use the to address"?

No, unfortunately, there's not.

Part 2: Is there ANY way to sort that way?

I think there is, but it'd require a *LOT* of work. One of the sort 
methods is "score" where you sort your messages by a score that you 
have control over. I *think* it would be possible to design a 
sufficiently clever set of scoring rules that would allow you to 
create the sort order that you like. But like I said, that would 
require a TON of work.

It would be much easier to ask the developers to make a from-or-to 
sort order (to match the %F field of the index_format). This could be 
painful for the IMAP driver, though, since the sorting cannot be done 
on the server side.

We don't use server-side search yet anyway (which is one of the
reasons mutt loads the whole mailbox on open). When (if?) we get
server-side search and partial mailbox loading, we'll just have to
have a fallback client-side mode for sort modes that the server
doesn't support. That's what we do for search right now.
