First, thanks to all who've replied. I've been fiddling with your replies all day trying to get it to sink in. Your help's appreciated. > What is the setting for $spoolfile and also for the $MAIL environment > variable? set spoolfile="/home/keeling/mail/Inbox" $MAIL is empty (not set). ... and it's entirely possible that I don't know what I'm doing there. I'm very new to IMAP (never used it before). spoolfile used to be "/var/mail/keeling" when I POPped mail from my ISP (and then procmail picked it up ...). When I login to ISP's webmail, all I can tell is "https://webmail.nucleus.com/Inbox.aspx". I'm using OfflineIMAP --> ~/mail, so ... Damn, I feel like a noob. :-| Creeping senility. Still, mutt works great and I don't have to stomach webmail mangling my mail into ugliness. Cheers. :-) Have fun. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
