Re: preferred method of using imap/mutt
Quoting Cameron Matheson <cameron.matheson@fjcomm.com>:
2. mutt filters the mail into folders based on certian rules (mailing
lists, etc.)
3. mutt keeps all mail on server
w/ the POP of course i had to download the mail, so i used procmail
for the filtering. Is what i'm wanting to do even possible (i know
it is w/ thunderbird, etc.). How are the folks on this list doing it?
The other things you want to do are easy and others will certainly comment on
how to accomplish them. I want to point out that step 2 should not be handled
by mutt. If you are the admin of the server, or you can convince the admin of
the server to it, install a suitable filtering program server side. The nice
thing about that is then you can connect with any IMAP client and they
will all
se the mail pre-filtered. If the server is running Cyrus IMAP,
consider setting
up Seive. If not, then procmail, mailfilter or maildrop will certainly
suffice.
Personally, I like maildrop, but they are all similar enough.
