In my ~ there is a ~/.mutt/ which contains all my formatting. In my ~ there is also a folder ~/.MuttMail which contains all my mailboxes. MBox was easier as was pop3 for me than Maildir and Imap. Do note with MBox you MUST have /tmp /curr and /new directory in your ~/.MuttMail folder cat .fetchmailrc poll pop.gmail.com protocol pop3 user "XXXXXXX" cat .procmailrc PATH=/bin;/usr/bin;/usr/local/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/.MuttMail ##you better make sure it exists DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/INBOX LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/.procmail_log LOGABSTRACT=no VERBOSE=on ##only used for debugging FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail NL=' ' ##recipe lines begin with :0 ##dont put comments on recipe lines ##disable a recipe with the false condition! ##condition lines begin with * and regex is your friend ##conditions are anded and everything after * is fed straight into #####egrep ##one action line follows the conditions, in this case it is a #####mailbox name # # # #catch duplicates using formail #:0 Whc:.msgid.lock #|$FORMAIL -D 16384 .msgid.cache #:0 #$MAILDIR/duplicates #now flush spam out :0 *^Subject:.*(credit|cash|money|debt|sex|sale|loan) $MAILDIR/spam #no more html messages :0 *^Content-Type:.*html $MAILDIR/junk #now put my mail lists into mailboxes :0 *^List-Id:.*wftl-lug $MAILDIR/wftl-lug :0 *^List-Id:.* plug-discuss $MAILDIR/plug-discuss :0 *^List-Id:.*arch-linux $MAILDIR/arch-linux :0 *^List-Id:. *nlug-talk $MAILDIR/nlug-talk :0 *^List-Id:. *tclug $MAILDIR/tclug ################################ # Last Rule: Hamm # :0 *.* $DEFAULT #EOF # cat .muttrc # vim:syn=muttrc # auto login to this mailbox at startup #Vim Settings for interfacing with Mutt set editor='vim -c "set tw=72" ' ### # ~/.muttrc # # *updated --again-- to remove options that simply duplicate defaults* # ### # directories and commands set move=yes source /etc/Muttrc.gpg.dist source /$HOME/.mutt/gpg set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp" set query_command = "/$HOME/.abook/addressbook '%s' " # alias file with abook set alias_file = /$HOME/.MuttMail/alias #alias file # set certificate_file = ~/.mutt/certificates # where to store certs set header_cache = /$HOME/.MuttMail/headers # where to store headers set message_cachedir = /$HOME/.MuttMail/cache/bodies # where to store bodies set mailcap_path = /$HOME/.MuttMail/mailcap # entrys for filetypes set signature = /$HOME/.mutt/signature # my signature file set tmpdir = /$HOME/.MuttMail/tmp # where to keep temp files set ispell = "aspell -e -c" # use aspell as ispell # set query_command = "mutt_vc_query '%s'" # query rolo's vCards set print_command = "enscript -p - | psselect -r | lp" # print email in reverse page order # maildir settings set mbox_type = Maildir # mailbox type set folder =/$HOME/.MuttMail # mailbox location set spoolfile =+GMail/INBOX # GMail is default inbox set record =/$HOME/.MuttMail/sent # main options unset confirmappend # don't ask, just do set delete # don't ask, just do set mail_check = 0 # minimum time between scans unset markers # no ugly plus signs unset mark_old # read/new is good enough for me set menu_scroll # scroll in menus set pager_index_lines = 10 # number of index lines to show set pager_context = 5 # number of context lines to show set pager_stop # don't go to next message automatically set pipe_decode # strip headers and eval mimes when piping set reverse_alias # show names from alias file in index set sort = threads # like gmail set sort_aux = reverse-last-date-received # like gmail unset sort_re # always thread set thorough_search # strip headers and eval mimes before searching set tilde # show tildes like in vim set timeout = 3 # idle time before scanning # enriched messages alternative_order text/richtext text/enriched text/html # but save it for last # formats and regexps set alias_format = "%4n %t %-20a %r" set date_format = "%m/%d/%y at %I:%M%P" set index_format = "%3C %Z %[!%m/%d] %-17.17F %s" set quote_regexp = "^( {0,4}[>|:#%]| {0,4}[a-z0-9]+[>|]+)+" set reply_regexp = "^(([Rr][Ee]?(\[[0-9]+\])?: *)?(\[[^]]+\] *)?)*" set status_format = "-%r- %v ─┴────/ %f %m%?n?
