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.
Well, i am the administrator of the mail server, so i'm working on setting up maildrop now. thanks to everyone for their suggestions. The problem i'm trying to work around now is that i'm using courier IMAP, where the users of the mail are not real users, they are virtual users found in an MySQL table (or some are also in courier's proprietary userdb file). As such, the users don't have individual home directories (maildir's are all stored in /home/vmail). I've been reading through the maildrop manpage and it looks like you can do system-wide /etc/courier/maildroprc file, or you can have a ~/.maildroprc. Now would it be possible to change that so that it's a .maildroprc in the Maildir? or how would this be done w/ virtual accounts?
Thanks, Cameron Matheson
