Re: New mail indicator
I wonder if my work flow is different with all you guys or I'm the
only one who face this problem?
Sometimes when reading a new mail, I must going to an other folder and
after some searching, I have no idea where is my previous
folder.
Or is there some tool that I don't know but every one use to make your
life with mutt easier?

I prefer a new terminal/second instance of mutt or "ctrl-z". I maintain one continuous instance of mutt on a specific machine via a tmux session (similar to screen). -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.orgPhoto Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535@ http://linuxcounter.net

Or hit 'c' (to change folder), then to cycle through previously visited folders, until a likely candidate crops up, then whack .

I have about 30 folders, so that can take minute to find out. :) On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 10:35:55PM +1000, Erik Christiansen wrote: > On 10.05.12 08:08, Patrick Shanahan wrote: > > * Diep Pham Van [05-10-12 08:01]: > > > Sometimes when reading a new mail, I must going to an other folder > > > and after some searching, I have no idea where is my previous > > > folder. > > > from present instance of mutt and start another > > or > > open a new terminal and start a second instance of mutt > > or > > use a quick-pad note to remember present directory > > or > > use a pencil and paper > > or > > ... > > Or hit 'c' (to change folder), then to cycle through > previously visited folders, until a likely candidate crops up, then > whack . > > Erik > > -- > It is a government sponsored Ponzi scheme where weak banks are supporting weak > sovereigns who in turn are standing behind the banks - a process which can be > described as two drowning people clinging to each other for mutual support. > > - Satyajit Das on EU's LTRO http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/3962262.html
Mail folder backtracking [Was: New mail indicator]

That is because cycles through the list of last _visited_ folders, in reverse order. If that is too hard, then hit 'y' instead of 'c', and pick a mailbox from the presented list. If the folder to return to isn't a mailbox, therefore does not appear in the list, and tapping still doesn't appeal, then this may help: Hit 'c', type the first few characters of the destination folder name, hit twice, then select from that shortlist. There may often be only one name in the list, if you only have 30 in total. If you can't remember a few characters of the folder's name, then go back to the first method. ;-) Erik ¹ Only 12 are incoming mailboxes.

There's a sidebar patch which is popular, it shows your mailboxes in
a sidebar along with the number of mails and unread mails in each box.
I used to be kind of addicted to it myself, but if you switch imap
accounts in mutt the sidebar doesn't keep up, just keeps adding the
mailboxes to the list without getting rid of the old ones from the
previous account. Probably the only real drawback, but it was confusing
enough I just went back to straight mutt. As someone else mentioned,
hitting "y" gives you the list, and "c" will automatically suggest
boxes with new, unread mail. Good enough for me, YMMV.

I read mutt inside of screen, and use a macro to change folders such that the new folders is opened in a separate screen window, keeping the original folder where I left it. macro index F 'set my_folder=`mutt-prompt "Change to folder" \\`; push "!screen -X screen mutt -f $my_folder\"' That's all one line.

I'm testing it now, but so far, it seems to work. Should I use the same

Assuming you want the signature to change in sync with the From: line,
yes. You can use any patterns that fit your needs, not just ~t.
