However able to get the mail delivered where I want to, Mutt
complains that the destination box (spoolfile) is not a mail
box. I don't have a clue as to where I must look.
This was snipped from your .muttrc
set mbox_type = Maildir
but you procmail recipes below don't deliver to this sort of
mailbox. "maildir" is a special format of mailbox where each
message is stored in separate files under the directories
"new", "current" and "tmp". however you're delivering to the
standard mbox-type mailbox where all messages are stored in a
single file. Therefore you can do one of two: either change the
variable above to
set mbox_type = mbox
or append a slash to the delivery destiantion of your procmail
recipes so that they read e.g.
:0:
* ^To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
$MAILDIR/marlies/
^
Note the final slash. This will make procmail deliver to
maildir mailboxes This requires procmail >3.15
The documentation of procmail/mutt requires expert-insight; no
easy "looks like this" examples (well it does, but it don't
work for me). Also the mutt and procmail webpages for Newbies
gave me an impression of what is possible, impressive by the
way, but I could not get a configuration out of it.
Having two mailaddresses I would like them to arrive in
seperate mailboxes. I've tried to work with the build-in
'fetch-the-mail' option. For one pop-account it works great,
but I was not able to get the two of them working (only the
latter in the muttrcfile). As to account-hook; I have not got a
clue on how to go about that. As with folder-hook.

You don't need a .forward file if your MTA (sendmail, exim
etc.) is enabled for using procmail as the local delivery agent
(LDA) and I believe every MTA that come packaged in Debian is.
########################################################
.muttrc # Looks okee don't it?
mailboxes /home/snotty/Mail/drafts
mailboxes /home/snotty/Mail/sentbox
You don't need to specify the entire path of the mailboxes like
this, Just say
mailboxes +drafts + sentbox etc.
# I was hoping to get the below working. That way I do not have to invoke
fetchmail
#account-hook . 'unset pop_user; unset pop_pass'
#account-hook pop://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
is mandatory for retreving mail)
#account-hook pop://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I don't use the POP3 support in Mutt but the manual includes
some documentation on it where some of the priciples also apply
to IMAP, try to read it. F1 should give you access to the manual.
