Yes.. mutt can handle multiple mailboxes. This question has been answered by others. > I found this in ../exim/oview.txt: > " > There is support for multiple user mailboxes controlled by prefixes or > suffixes on the user name, either via the filter mechanism or through i> multiple .forward files. Exim (or at least 3.35) can distribute mail to different mailboxes. If I understand some of the posters in this thread, they have stated that you cannot, but this is what I'm doing. You will find this info in the file "filter.txt.gz" in /usr/share/doc/exim. It could well be that using exim for a single-user account is overkill, but it works. FWIW, here's my .forward file as a sample.. The first commented line _MUST_ be the present on the first line for it to work (actually all that's needed are the string "Exim filter" --------------- cut ---------------- # Exim filter <<== do not edit or remove this line! # Forward debian files ## This could be done better by filtering on some mailinglist line, but ## I've not bothered to change it.. a few messages slip by that are not ## addressed to or cc'ed to the lists.#.debian.org if $h_to contains lists.debian.org or $h_cc contains lists.debian.org then if $h_to contains debian-user or $h_cc contains debian-user then save Muttmail/Debian/user elif $h_to contains debian-firewall or $h_cc contains debian-firewall then save Muttmail/Debian/firewall elif $h_to contains debian-kde or $h_cc contains debian-kde then save Muttmail/Debian/kde elif $h_to contains debian-news or $h_cc contains debian-news then save Muttmail/Debian/debian/news elif $h_to contains debian-security or $h_cc contains debian-security then save Muttmail/Debian/security elif $h_to contains debian-announce or $h_cc contains debian-announce then save Muttmail/Debian/announce endif finish endif if $sender_address: contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then save Muttmail/exim-users endif --------------- cut -------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
