Thanks Dsr

Do you have any guides ?

What im hearing you say is that yes gmail can create and do its own filtering ie.. i have folders from gmail (e.g Debian_User Debian_kernel)

What your saying is that i download the mail from gmail .. once downloaded i add the mail to the folders or filter it in a certin way in mutt so it can go to those folders ?

What i don't understand or if you can help me clarify .. if the folders are made from gmail how can mutt put the mail in those foldrs ..  I don't think i understand the reply if so please clarify in more detail

Thanks
Josef
